20180710 151226 vector digital data This layer indicates the location of the observed stream temperature records used for the NorWeST database summaries. NorWeST summer stream temperature scenarios were developed for all rivers and streams in the western U.S. from the > 20,000 stream sites in the NorWeST database where mean August stream temperatures were recorded. The resulting dataset includes stream lines (NorWeST_PredictedStreams) and associated mid-points NorWest_TemperaturePoints) representing 1 kilometer intervals along the stream network. Stream lines were derived from the 1:100,000 scale NHDPlus dataset (USEPA and USGS 2010; McKay et al. 2012). Shapefile extents correspond to NorWeST processing units, which generally relate to 6 digit (3rd code) hydrologic unit codes (HUCs) or in some instances closely correspond to state borders. The line and point shapefiles contain identical modeled stream temperature results. The two feature classes are meant to complement one another for use in different applications. In addition, spatial and temporal covariates used to generate the modeled temperatures are included in the attribute tables at https://www.fs.fed.us/rm/boise/AWAE/projects/NorWeST/ModeledStreamTemperatureScenarioMaps.shtml. The NorWeST NHDPlusV1 processing units include: Salmon, Clearwater, Spokoot, Missouri Headwaters, Snake-Bear, MidSnake, MidColumbia, Oregon Coast, South-Central Oregon, Upper Columbia-Yakima, Washington Coast, Upper Yellowstone-Bighorn, Upper Missouri-Marias, and Upper Green-North Platte. The NorWeST NHDPlusV2 processing units include: Lahontan Basin, Northern California-Coastal Klamath, Utah, Coastal California, Central California, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Black Hills. The NorWeST webpage (https://www.fs.fed.us/rm/boise/AWAE/projects/NorWeST.html) 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. 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 (example interactive temperature map). It is hoped that 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. -124.624970 -102.643840 48.998969 31.557647 None Invasive species Fish Habitat management Monitoring Natural Resource Management & Use Forest & Plant Health Wildlife (or Fauna) Inventory Monitoring & Analysis Hydrology watersheds sedimentation Ecology Ecosystems & Environment Climate change Landscape management Climate effects hobo observed temperature climate change big data water stream temperature database stream network temperature model river temperature model thermographs temperature sensor decision support climate scenarios crowd sourcing global warming NorWeST citizen science stream temperature records modeling stream temperatures microclimate river network aquatic vulnerability assessments covariate predictors stream temperature model river temperatures data loggers Spatial Stream Network modeled temperature GIS topoclimate climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere biota inlandWaters environment inlandWaters health biota environment climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere None These data were collected by many partner agencies and organized using funding from the U.S. Government and can be used without additional permissions or fees.
