Summary

A total of 27 temperature sensors were deployed along the lower 90 miles of the Yakima River at 7 locations where cold water had been previously observed. These 7 cold-water areas had 3 to 6 temperature sensors installed to document the extent and duration of these cold-water areas and their impacts on mainstem temperatures of the Lower Yakima River. Cold-water areas included the mouths of tributaries, alongside channels, and within alcoves. Sensor deployments ranged from 1 to 2 years beginning in October 2018. All temperature data are included in the Yakima.temperatures.zip folder. Details of each monitoring location are provided in the site.locs.csv file. In addition to the raw data and site location information, an html file for [...]

Purpose

Temperature sensors were installed to document the extent and duration of cold-water areas and their impacts on mainstem temperatures of the Lower Yakima River. Summer temperatures on the lower river often exceed established criteria; therefore, understanding the impact of cold water areas on mainstem temperatures is an important step for better managing the lower river for migrating native fishes.
