| Abstract | Long Description |
The purpose of this program is to annually collect diel (24-hour) continuous temperature data every 30 minutes during the summer (July – September) at most of the Department of Ecology′s statewide ambient stream monitoring stations. The data may be used to (1) interpret a station′s historical monthly temperature patterns, (2) do trend analyses, (3) support temperature Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) studies, and (4) determine compliance with current and proposed water quality standards. |
