In-situ stream temperature monitoring, Alaska

US Fish and Wildlife Service has collected hourly stream temperature (C) data at 60 sites throughout Alaska. Some stream temperature recording sites are ongoing. Sampling for each site occurred at some point between 2004 to 2017; each sampling site has at least 1 year of data and at most 7 years. This dataset is part of a larger project to collect a comprehensive statewide inventory of current and historic continuous monitoring locations for stream and lake temperatures. The data was provided by the US Fish and Wildlife Service for archival as part of an effort between the State of Alaskan Salmon and People (SASAP, https://alaskasalmonandpeople.org/) and the Alaska Center for Conservation Science's Alaska Online Aquatic Temperature Site (AKOATS, http://accs.uaa.alaska.edu/aquatic-ecology/akoats/) to make stream temperature data more readily available for researchers. More specific information about sites on the Anadramous Waters Catalog can be found by their corresponding AWC codes on the Anadramous Waters Catalog section on the Alaska Department of Fish and Game website (https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/static-sf/AWC/PDFs/2017swt_CATALOG.pdf).
