The largest change in apparent resistivity observed across a 3.3 km galvanic resistivity array during the first year of operation was 6%. This 6% decrease is strongly correlated with several months of continuous rain. Fluctuations in apparent resistivity appear to be larger after than before the rain. This is believed to be the result of a newly formed surface layer of high conductivity. No correlation is observed between local seismicity and resistivity.
