    Abstract
    Snowmelt contribution to streamflow in snow-dominated watersheds has largely been limited to using the Center of Volume method, which looks at the day at which a certain amount of flow has passed, typically 20%, 50%, and 80%, referred to as tQ20, tQ50, and tQ80, respectively. We developed a new method to measure streamflow timing in the Southern Rocky Mountains of Colorado for 39 gauging stations from 1976 to 2015. We first manually extracted start and end days from the annual hydrograph of a small, medium, and large watershed to use as "truth." We then looked at the cumulative annual hydrograph ...
