Topic	Temperature: Floating Weekly Avg., Brush Cr. Sites 1999

 

Caption:  This Chart shows the floating weekly average water temperature at lower and upper Brush Creek (sites BRUSH1 and BRUSH2) for the year 1999. Brush creek warmed dramatically (2.0 to 8.5°C) as it flowed from the upper site to the lower site. Maximum floating weekly average water temperatures (MWAT) exceeded 19.0°C at the lower sites, but did not exceed 17.0°C at the upper site. 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).
