<p>The NorWeST webpage hosts stream temperature data and climate scenarios in a variety of user-friendly digital formats for streams and rivers across the western U.S. The temperature database was compiled from hundreds of biologists and hydrologists working for >100 resource agencies and contains >200,000,000 hourly temperature recordings at >20,000 unique stream sites. Those temperature data were used with spatial statistical network models to develop 36 historical and future climate scenarios at 1-kilometer resolution for >1,000,000 kilometers of stream.</p> <p>Temperature data and model outputs, registered to NHDPlus stream lines, are posted to the website after QA/QC procedures and development of the final temperature model within a river basin. Open access to the data and the availability of accurate stream temperature scenarios will foster new research and collaborative relationships that enhance management and conservation of aquatic resources.</p> <p>Funding for the project was provided by the GNLCC and NPLCC with additional funds and in-kind support from the USFS, USGS, USFWS, NFWF, California Fish Passage Forum, and NASA. </p><div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: Website Pointer to NorWeST Stream Temperature Regional Database and Model.</p> <p>File Name: Web Page, url: <a href="https://www.fs.fed.us/rm/boise/AWAE/projects/NorWeST.html">https://www.fs.fed.us/rm/boise/AWAE/projects/NorWeST.html</a> </p><p>The NorWeST webpage hosts stream temperature data and climate scenarios in a variety of user-friendly digital formats for streams and rivers across the western U.S. The temperature database was compiled from hundreds of biologists and hydrologists working for >100 resource agencies and contains >200,000,000 hourly temperature recordings at >20,000 unique stream sites.
