Paired air and stream temperature measurements in the Southeastern United States from 2010 to 2015

This data set includes paired air and water temperature data from 204 sites throughout the southern Appalachian region of the United States. Sites were located in randomly selected subwatersheds identified as capable of supporting populations of brook trout. Located at the downstream outlet of the subwatersheds, each site consisted of a logger placed underwater paired with a logger affixed to the bank or a tree. Stream and air temperatures were measured every 30 minutes using the remote logger system. Loggers were deployed from 2010 to 2015. The paired air and water temperatures were summarized into daily and weekly minimum, maximum, and mean values. Site information is included for the temperature data, including coordinates (decimal [...]
