Long Term Mean Annual Water Temperature For Stream Reaches In Pacific Northwest United States

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. Long-term mean annual water temperature (degrees Celsius) was estimated for the E2RF1 stream network (Brakebill and Terziotti, 2011) located within the Pacific Northwest region of the United States (HUC2 = 17; the Columbia River basin, the Puget Sound watershed, the coastal drainages of Washington and Oregon, and the closed basins in southern Oregon). Multiple linear regressions were used to select reach-scale watershed attributes (explanatory variables) [...]

这些数据发布于2016年10月1日之前，彼时美国地质调查局（United States Geological Survey, USGS）颁布的科学数据审核、批准与发布政策尚未生效——该政策详见美国地质调查局《调查手册》第502.8章《基础科学实践：科学数据发布的审核与批准》。本数据集针对位于美国太平洋西北地区的E2RF1溪流网络（Brakebill与Terziotti，2011）估算了长期年均水温（单位：摄氏度）；该区域二级水文单元代码（Hydrologic Unit Code 2, HUC2）为17，涵盖哥伦比亚河流域、普吉特湾流域、华盛顿州与俄勒冈州沿海水系，以及俄勒冈州南部的封闭盆地。本研究采用多元线性回归方法筛选河段尺度的流域属性（解释变量）……
