Topic	Temperature: Floating Weekly Avg, Russian R. in Geys. Sub-basin, 2000

 

Caption:  This Chart shows the floating weekly average water temperature in the Russian River at Asti and Cloverdale (sites ASTW and CLOW, respectively) for the year 2000. The river cooled 0-0.2°C as it flowed from the Cloverdale site to the Asti site. This is interesting, because water temperatures usually increase as a river flows downstream. Maximum floating weekly average water temperatures (MWAT) exceeded 19.0°C at both sites. Based on a review of steelhead growth studies, Sullivan et al. (2000) found that compared to optimum temperatures, an MWAT of 17.0°C reduced steelhead growth by 10%, and an MWAT of 19.0°C reduced growth by 20%. See InfoLinks for more information. Temperature data comes from automated water temperature data probes placed in the Russian River and its tributaries by the Sonoma County Water Agency (SCWA).
