Description:
This study is on water temperature dynamics in the shallow field channels of the USEPA Monticello Ecological Research Station (MERS). The hydraulic and temperature environment in the MERS channels was measured and simulated to provide some background for several biological studies at the Research Station, including one of the effects of artificially high water temperatures on fish and invertebrate populations. An analysis of the temperature measurement problem, the channel temperature regime, microhabitat conditions, and temporal and spatial water temperature dynamics was essential for the investigation.
