Stream Temperature Modeling and Monitoring: Multiple Regression Stream Temperature Model

<p>This simple Stream Temperature Modeling and Monitoring approach uses thermograph data and geomorphic predictor variables from GIS software and digital elevation models (DEM). Multiple regression models are used to predict stream temperature metrics throughout a stream network with moderate accuracy (R^2 ~ 0.65). The models can provide basic descriptions of spatial patterns in stream temperatures, suitable habitat distributions for aquatic species, or be used to assess temporal trends related to climate or management activities if multiple years of temperature data are available. </p><div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: Website Pointer to Multiple Regression Stream Temperature Model.</p> <p>File Name: Web Page, url: <a href="https://www.fs.fed.us/rm/boise/AWAE/projects/stream_temp/multregression_model.shtml">https://www.fs.fed.us/rm/boise/AWAE/projects/stream_temp/multregression_model.shtml</a> </p><p>This simple Stream Temperature Modeling and Monitoring approach uses thermograph data and geomorphic predictor variables from GIS software and digital elevation models (DEM).
