Temperature: All Sheepscot Sites, MWMT by Year 1994-2003 |
|
Caption: This chart shows maximum floating weekly maximum temperature (MWMT) for each site in the Sheepscot River watershed with available data in the years 1994-2003. MWMT is the average of the daily maximum water temperatures during the warmest week of the year. Sites are grouped by stream and listed in upstream order. Tributaries are listed in the order they join their parent stream. Maximum floating weekly maximum temperatures exceed 22.5°C at every site except Weaver Brook and Dearborn Brook. Elliott (1991) found that juvenile Atlantic Salmon stop feeding when temperatures exceed 22.5°C. Temperature data are from the Maine Atlantic Salmon Commission. See Chart Table for a key to sites and see Map for site locations. See Info Links for more information.
