Hydrodynamic modeling data for Synthesis of Juvenile Steelhead Responses to Hydrodynamic Conditions in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta

This data release includes the output variables extracted from the
UnTRIM Bay-Delta hydrodynamic model (hydrodynamic model) for use in
evaluating the effects of hydrodynamics on the behavior of
acoustically-tagged juvenile steelhead in the Sacramento-San Joaquin
Delta. Work was funded by Proposition 1 and completed by Anchor QEA,
LLC, and U.S. Geological Survey for the State Water Contractors
under a Proposition 1 Grant ( Evaluating Juvenile Salmonid
Behavioral Responses to Hydrodynamic Conditions in the
Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta ), contracted by Delta
Stewardship Council. Not all the hydrodynamic model output variables
in the output provided with this memorandum were used in the final
fish models used to analyze steelhead responses. Model output for
additional variables and locations were included for completeness
and to make these output files more broadly useful to researchers
interested in other locations or variables in the Sacramento-San
Joaquin Delta. Hydrodynamic model simulations were conducted for
2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016, with hydrodynamic model
output variables provided at the same locations for each period
simulated. The model simulation for each year spanned the full
period of steelhead detections in the telemetry data collected
during that year.
