Topic	Temperature: Floating Weekly Avg., Santa Rosa Cr. Sites, 2000

 

Caption:  This Chart shows the floating weekly average water temperature at Santa Rosa Creek sites for the year 2000. Temperatures increased approximately 7.0°C between the upper and lower sites. Maximum floating weekly average water temperatures (MWAT) exceeded 19.0°C at two of four sites, and exceeded 17.0°C at three of four 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).
