Errata / Comments by Page umber in the May 18, 2007 Upper<br />

Braden River MFL peer review draft report<br />

All errata listed in the peer review report were addressed in the revised<br />

version of the report with the exception of the following.<br />

2-22 1 st paragraph, line 7 – shouldn’t the benchmark period be “1970<br />

through 1999” rather than “1970 through 1994” – see Figure 2-14, Table 2-4,<br />

Table 2-5, last line of page?<br />

No, though in earlier MFLs reports the AMO cycle was taken to be 30 year<br />

periods recent climatologically papers <strong>and</strong> communication with NOAA staff has<br />

lead us to refine the most recent dry phase to reflect a shift back to the wet<br />

phase as of 1995.<br />

2-32 Table 2-8 - Is the minimum pH for the Peace at Arcadia really 0.7?<br />

Staff agree that this reported values seems low. Though our original files<br />

indicated three dates (11/12/63, 8/1/64, <strong>and</strong> 9/1/65) as having a pH of 0.73 when<br />

we went back to the USGS website on 11/27/2007 we found these numbers<br />

currently reported as 7.3 <strong>and</strong> the current minimum reported as 3.8 on 3/1/1963<br />

<strong>and</strong> have modified the revised report accordingly.<br />

4-20 Section 4.7.1, 1 st paragraph, line 4 – shouldn’t “1988-1993 <strong>and</strong> from<br />

1994-2005”read “1988-1994 <strong>and</strong> from 1995-2005”?<br />

No. It would have been correct to go from “1988-1994 <strong>and</strong> from 1995-2005” but<br />

the actual model runs from the consultant were from “1988-1993 <strong>and</strong> from 1994-<br />

2005”. This occurred because staff had not made a determination on when the<br />

AMO shifted phases until after the PHABSIM data was delivered to the<br />

consultant.<br />

4-22 Section 4.8.1, line 8 – shouldn’t “1989 through 1993 <strong>and</strong> from 1994<br />

through 2005” read “1988 through 1994 <strong>and</strong> from 1995 through 2005”?<br />

No. It would have been correct to go from “1988-1994 <strong>and</strong> from 1995-2005” but<br />

the actual model runs from the consultant were from “1988-1993 <strong>and</strong> from 1994-<br />

2005”. This occurred because staff had not made a determination on when the<br />

AMO shifted phases until after the PHABSIM data was delivered to the<br />

consultant.<br />
