Wenatchee River Basin Aerial Surveys
Thermal Infrared and Color Video
August 2001, 2002, and 2003

These aerial surveys were conducted by Watershed Sciences for the Washington State Department of Ecology and the Pacific Watershed Institute. This image browser application was created by the Washington State Department of Ecology. For more information about the aerial surveys, contact Greg Pelletier or read the 2002 report or 2003 report by Watershed Sciences. The longitudinal profiles of temperature from the TIR surveys are available in Excel spreadsheets for 2001, 2002, and 2003. In addition, the temperature profiles from the TIR surveys are also available as Arcview shapefiles for 2001, 2002, and 2003.

The aerial images may be browsed in either the upstream or downstream direction starting at any river mile (RM) location in the list. The right arrows move through the images in the upstream direction and the left arrows move downstream one frame at a time. The images may be played automatically in either direction by using the double-arrows. Playing may be stopped by using the square button. A high speed internet connection is recommended for automatically browsing through the images with the double-arrows. The user may switch between images in [color], [thermal IR], or display [both] images side-by-side at any location.
