Table 6. Regression coefficients and coefficients of determination (R2) for load models used to estimate dissolved and total cadmium, lead, and zinc loads at four streamflow-gaging stations in the Spokane River basin, Idaho.
[Gaging station locations are shown in figures 1 and 2. Long-term records are for the periods: Enaville (1992-2004), Pinehurst, Harrison (1991-2004), and Post Falls (1991-2003). Regression equation is ln(L) = a + b(ln Q) + c(ln Q2) + d[sin(2•T)] + e[cos(2•T)] + fT + gT2, where L is constituent load; Q is streamflow; T is time in decimal years from beginning of calibration period; a, b, c, d, e, f, and g are regression coefficients. Symbols: –, explanatory variable not used in regression; <, less than]
