NorWeST Mean August Temperature

Feb 16, 2023
Uploaded by Niall Clancy
Description:
NorWeST stream temperature scenario maps for Mean August Temperature were developed at a 1-kilometer resolution using spatial statistical stream network models. Stream temperature data used to fit the temperature model that created the scenario maps were screened using a consistent set of criteria to ensure the use of accurate temperature measurements. Application of these techniques in previous research has yielded accurate and unbiased stream temperature models and predictions. 3 Scenarios are provided here: Historical (1993-2011), 2040s (2030-2059 projection average), and 2080s (2070-2099 projection average).
