Stream Temperature Dataset, Fall 2014 - Summer 2015, Rocky Mountian National Park, Colorado, USA

Dataset describing stream temperatures at 18 sites across two adjacent stream networks located in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, USA.  Temperature data collected with Onset Pendant waterproof loggers.  DateTime format is UTC-7, with no daylight savings time.  Temperature units are degrees C.  Status column indicates the assumed location of the logger (Active= in water, Inactive = out of water).  Elevation, UAA (Upstream Accumulated Area), X, and Y describe characteristics of the logger site.  Lake_fraction column describes the fraction of the area draining to a site which is estimated to pass through one or more lakes, and UAA_weighted_mean_lake_elevation describes the mean elevation of upstream lakes, weighted by the UAA of each lake.  This dataset accompanies the following publication, wherein it is described in greater detail:
