Summary

This dataset includes georeferenced, high-resolution, airborne thermal infrared (TIR) and high-resolution true-color imagery, a polyline shapefile of the channel centerline, a polyline shapefile with TIR sample points for longitudinal stream temperature profiles, and a tabular file with longitudinal stream temperature profiles for the Donner und Blitzen River and its tributaries, Oregon. The aerial TIR surveys were conducted with a helicopter by NV5 Geospatial and are published as 17 raster mosaics in GeoTiff format with a resolution of 0.3 meters (m). The TIR mosaics contain corrected surface temperatures in degrees Celsius (C) (multiplied by 10 to create an unsigned integer pixel type). The longitudinal stream temperature profiles [...]

Purpose

These datasets were created as part of a U.S. Geological Survey study to assess spatial patterns of hydrological drought response, flow permanence, stream temperature, groundwater discharge, cold-water refuges, thermal diversity, riparian vegetation, and stream channel morphology and substrate. The intended uses of these data include but are not limited to assessments of thermal heterogeneity, sources of cold-water discharge, and potential geologic controls on surface water and groundwater interactions within the Donner und Blitzen River Basin.
