Interpreting graphs: What is the story that each graph tells? Answer these questions when looking at each graph: 1. What time period is shown in this graph? 2. What is being measured in this graph? 3. Where was the information gathered? 4. What happens to it over the time period shown? 5. What is your hypothesis about what caused this to happen? 6. Measurements of what other parameters would help you test and verify your hypothesis? If you have Internet access, you can go to the Hudson Environmental Conditions Observing System website to check other parameters and test your hypothesis.Hudson Environmental Conditions Observing System website

What caused this pattern of water levels in spring, 2011?

Runoff from heavy rains in the Hudson River watershed caused flooding in the estuary near Albany. The lower estuary remained at sea level.

What caused this pattern of water levels in October, 2012?

Flooding due to storm surge from Hurricane Sandy’s winds extended all the way to Albany.

What stories do these graphs tell? Graphs from U.S. Geological Survey

Winds along the coast led to storm surge flooding, showing as a water level peak in Poughkeepsie and at the start of the flooding in Albany. Runoff from heavy rain in the watershed caused flooding in Albany, and even affected water levels at Poughkeepsie in the days following the storm.
