Impact/Purpose:
The purpose of this document is to present methods for continuous temperature and flow data collection in streams to support monitoring of long-term trends. The document compiles the best available information from pactitioners with their assistance, particularly our USFS and USGS co-authors. The audience for this document is mostly state agency scientists, EPA regional scientists, NGO scientists, and potentially academic researchers.
Description:
This final report is a technical "best practices" document describing sensor deployment for and collection of continuous temperature and flow data at ungaged sites in wadeable streams. This document addresses questions related to equipment needs; configuration, placement, and installation of equipment; and data retrieval and processing.
