Percentage Differences Streamflow

A comma separated values (csv) file that is a snapshot of percent difference between November 19, 2008 and November 14, 2016 peak streamflow. The file lists station identification, water year, original (2008) peak Q, current (2016) peak Q and percent difference calculated per water year. The percent difference was calculated as the absolute value of [(current peak Q - original peak Q)/(original peak Q) x 100], where current peak Q is the 2016 peak and the original peak Q is the 2008 peak. When an original peak Q value is 0, the resultant percent difference calculation is undefined because of division by 0. In these cases, the percent difference field is populated with NA. Those entries are included in the data file so that users can make their own comparisons between the 2008 and 2016 peaks for those cases where the original peak value was 0.
