INSTRUMENTATION - Water temperature sensor interfaced with a data collection platform with 15-minute recording interval.

REMARKS -

Values from the site monitor may not be representative of the entire stream width. Interruptions in the record were due to equipment malfunctions.

Historically, water temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius were not reported. Water temperature sensors now have the ability to accurately read water temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius.

Cross-sectional water quality data is available upon request. Values reported by the monitor may not be representative of the entire stream width at all times.

For water year 2014, water temperature records rated fair, except for October 1 to March 13, which are rated poor. For water year 2015, water temperature records rated fair.
