Does anyone have experience with the "multiple attributes" then "quantity by category", then "field" and "normalization" capability in "Symbology"? I'm trying to graphically represent temperature change in a whole river network during the year by months. For each individual month, I've successfully got a pretty good representation of the 500+ temperature prediction locations in the river network, by both color change and symbol size (gradually bigger symbol and toward one end of the color ramp, the higher the temp). Unfortunately, the map for September (where the temps range from 10C to 16C) and the map for January (where the temps range from 2C to 5C) look very, very similar, as ArcGIS creates the range of color and size based on the discrete month's range.

My goal is to have the maps graphically different enough that if you view them together, or sequentially as an "animation" of the year, that the changes from cold in winter to warmer in late summer would be clear. And ideally clear enough to perceive that certain places (the main stem or the headwater reaches?) change less or more than others throughout the year. Any ideas? Could it be a easy as "normalizing" by putting the warmest month in the "normalization" field and the month of interest in the "value" field?
Thanks,
Chris
