USGS Scientific Investigations Report 2012–5004  - Dependence of Flow and Transport through the Williamson River Delta, Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, on Wind, River Inflow, and Lake Elevation 

Table 2. Definitions of dependent and independent variables used in the regression models. 

Short name	Description
Dependent variables
RR-TUL	Rate at which water in Tulana at time t=0 is replaced by water from other parts of Agency or Upper Klamath Lakes, or the Williamson River, in cubic meters per second.
RR-TULwWR	Rate at which water either in the Williamson River at time t=0, or coming in from the Williamson River at any time in the simulation, replaces water in Tulana at time t=0, in cubic meters per second.
RR-GB	Rate at which water in Goose Bay at time t=0 is replaced by water from other parts of Agency or Upper Klamath Lakes, or the Williamson River, in cubic meters per second.
RR-GBwWR	Rate at which water either in the Williamson River at time t=0, or coming in from the Williamson River at any time in the simulation, replaces water in Goose Bay at time t=0, in cubic meters per second.
Independent variables
elev	Lake elevation, relative to an elevation of 4,135 feet, and converted to meters.
flow	Williamson River inflow in cubic meters per second.
WRW-spd	75th percentile of the wind speed at site WRW-MET in meters per second.
WRW-ew	75th percentile of the east-west component of wind at site WRW-MET in meters per second.
WRW-ns	75th percentile of the north-south component of wind at site WRW-MET in meters per second.
