The authors thank the comments of three anonymous reviewers, particularly for the suggestion of color mapping IQR as a robust measure of dispersion. The North‐Watch project (http://www.abdn.ac.uk/northwatch/) is funded by the Leverhulme Trust (F/00 152/AG). The authors are also grateful to those individuals and funding agencies who contributed to gathering the data set presented: Iain Malcolm, Markus Hrachowitz, Julian Dawson for their assistance in generating the database for the Mharcaidh, Strontian, and Girnock catchments. Thanks to staff of the Dorset Environmental Sciences Centre (Ontario Ministry of the Environment) for provision of the data. Ric Janowicz of the Yukon Territorial Government is thanked for the Wolf Creek data. The HJ Andrews team would like to thank Rosemary Fanelli, Tina Garland for assistance with data assembly; John Moreau for data collection, and Don Henshaw for data archiving.
