Thermal Stream Habitat Model
Air Temperature Based
Thermal Stream Habitat Model
This model was originally
developed from weather station information across the Columbia River basin in
the Pacific Northwest. Multiple regression was used to predict mean annual air
temperatures from elevation, latitude, and longitude with good
success
(R2 ~
0.89). The model was developed as an alternative to PRISM data interpolations
based on spline surface smoothing and should more accurately represent thermal
conditions in stream valleys. |
