Summary

Continuous water temperature data were collected at multiple sites along the Middle Fork and mainstem Willamette Rivers between Jasper and Newberg, Oregon, to support effectiveness monitoring for a large-scale channel and floodplain restoration program (Willamette Focused Investment Partnership, WFIP). Continuous water temperature loggers were deployed at a subset of WFIP restoration sites where river restoration activities were implemented to improve habitat conditions for native fish species. Data from water temperature monitoring will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of restoration activities at improving habitat conditions for Endangered Species Act (ESA)-listed salmonids and other native fish in the Willamette River. Additionally, [...]

Summary

Continuous water temperature data were collected at multiple sites along the Middle Fork and mainstem Willamette Rivers between Jasper and Newberg, Oregon, to support effectiveness monitoring for a large-scale channel and floodplain restoration program (Willamette Focused Investment Partnership, WFIP). Continuous water temperature loggers were deployed at a subset of WFIP restoration sites where river restoration activities were implemented to improve habitat conditions for native fish species. Data from water temperature monitoring will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of restoration activities at improving habitat conditions for Endangered Species Act (ESA)-listed salmonids and other native fish in the Willamette River. Additionally, water temperature monitoring in summer and early fall months at restoration sites is useful for determining whether thermal conditions at these sites are optimal, sub-optimal, or lethal for cold-water adapted fish species like spring Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). Water temperature monitoring for this study spans 2019 through 2022. Water temperature loggers were suspended in the water column on a wire between a concrete block and a buoy as part of a monitoring arrays installed at multiple off-channel location throughout the study area.

This document describes data collected at the Bowers Rock State Park monitoring site between 08/14/2020 and 10/19/2021 and associated data quality files. The monitoring site is within a former gravel pit adjacent to the Willamette River and included various configurations of monitoring arrays consisting of water temperature loggers suspended at different elevations in the water column. Two monitoring arrays consisting of two water temperature loggers per array were deployed from 08/14/2020 to 04/15/2021, one in the southeast area of the pond and one in the northeast area of the pond. One monitoring array consisting of two water temperature loggers in the southeast area of the pond and one monitoring array consisting of one water temperature loggers in the northeast area of the pond were deployed from 04/15/2021 to 07/19/2021. Two monitoring arrays consisting of two water temperature loggers per array were deployed from 07/19/2021 to 10/19/2021, one in the southeast area of the pond and one in the northeast area of the pond. These data and metadata have been added to the data release originally published in 2021.

Purpose

Data from water temperature monitoring will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of restoration activities that target improvements in water temperature for ESA-listed and other native fish occupying the Willamette River. Additionally, water temperature monitoring in summer and early fall months at restoration sites is useful for determining whether thermal conditions at sites are supportive, harmful, or lethal for various native fish species.
