The Kendall Tau Trend Test The Mann-Kendall Test is a
non-parametric test for trend that does not specify linearity of
the trend (Maidment 1993). This robust test can be applied to any
annual timeseries of flow data, including annual inches of
baseflow, recharge, stream discharge, and estimates of Kb. A
modification of the test called the Seasonal Kendall Tau test
accounts for serial correlation and is insensitive to seasonality
in the data(Hirsch, Slack and Smith 1982). This is used to test for
trend in monthly data like the climate division soil moisture and
monthly estimates of baseflow. Comparing these two trend tests
gives insight on how much of the visible trend in baseflow can be
associated with a similar trend in hydrometeorology.
The Kendall Tau Trend tests were applied to every feasible
period of at least ten years within the entire period of record for
the gauge data in question, and the probability of a nonrandom
trend for that period is returned. These probabilities are plotted
in an upper triangular matrix called the Kendall Tau Surface
showing which sub-periods of the record demonstrate what trend,
with special symbology for when trend probability exceeds the set
significance level (Zhang, Dehoff and Pody 2010). The surface
represents the K-Tau statistic for every possible sub-period within
the entire period of record and the symbols show both the direction
and magnitude as significance of the test against the null
hypothesis of no monotonic trend.
