摘要
Indices of predictability, constancy and contingency which have been used to describe aspects of periodicity in biological phenomena are applied to monthly streamflow and rainfall data. The indices are first defined and the method of derivation described. The degree of correlation of the indices with each other, with record length and with the common statistical measures are investigated. Certain shortcomings are identified and some applications of these indices to hydrologic time series are suggested within the framework of their limitations.
