Stream Temperature Modeling and Monitoring: Stream Temperature Interactive Maps

[Note 02/2024: this resource is now decomissioned, link provides related maps, tools, and GIS layers.]

The Dynamic Mapping Tool provides a spatial index to over 5,500 sites on streams and rivers in the U.S. and Canada where full year stream temperatures are currently being monitored by numerous agencies. You can filter stream temperature sites by state, agency, year and contact. The primary goal is to portray a comprehensive set of sites across all agencies to facilitate data sharing and avoid redundancies, as new monitoring sites are added to the regional network. Raw temperature data are not downloadable through this site, but typically reside with the local data stewards, whose contact information is displayed by clicking on a point in the map. In some instances, RMRS may have copies of the raw data and permission to distribute it, so we ask that you contact us before contacting the local data stewards. The map will be updated once each winter to maintain an accurate description of current monitoring locations. If interested in obtaining temperature data or adding temperature monitoring sites to this map, please contact Sherry Wollrab: 208.373.4371 or sherrywollrab@fs.fed.us.
