NotesStream temperatures affect all resident or transient stream organisms, and are critical to many species, including vulnerable salmonids. A 1998 stream temperature study in the Umpqua Basin led to the selection of five sites in the Umpqua and South Umpqua Rivers for further stream temperature data collection. The sites were selected for having different climatic conditions and the distance from the test site to the ridgetop. Researchers have access to over twenty years of data from these five sites, giving a valuable baseline for future studies. This investigation looks at possible relationships between air temperatures and stream temperatures in the five reference sites in 1999 and 2020. “Prepared by: Denise Dammann Consulting for Partnership for the Umpqua Rivers (PUR)” (p.1).
