Continuous Temperature Data. Raw Hobo data files collected at William L. Finley NWR (Muddy Creek) and compiled at a regular frequency into a annual (cleaned) dataset (Excel). Muddy Creek had four locations monitored during the pilot project and these data are included in this dataset. Each location could have multiple loggers deployed (planned redundancy in case of logger failure). See the CURRENT-TL-Logger Log for details at https://ecos.fws.gov/ServCat/Reference/Profile/132469.

Continuous Stream Flow and Discharge Data. Data collected at William L. Finley NWR (Muddy Creek) and compiled at a regular frequency into a annual (cleaned) dataset (Excel). This reference also contains water level, air pressure, and water pressure data from the Pilot Project.

This reference was created to house geospatial data related to Aquatic Health and Climate Change: Long-term Monitoring starting in 2021. This project is the continuation of the Aquatic Health Pilot Project (2014-2019). Service programs (Refuges, Fish and Aquatic Conservation, and Water Resources) are collaborating to implement a long-term aquatic monitoring program for evaluating effects of climate change at National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs) in the Columbia-Pacific Northwest Region (IR9). The goal is to evaluate evidence of climate change on physical and habitat variables, and potential associations with changes in fish assemblages in wadeable streams. The program relies on two site specific protocols (SSPs), one addressing habitat and fish surveys (this SSP) and another addressing temperature and stream flow. For habitat and fish, objectives are to: establish a survey reach within a stream at each of five NWRs across the range of ecoregions in IR9; describe habitat in each survey reach once every five years or less; describe fish assemblages in each survey reach once every five years or less; analyze for temporal changes in habitat and fish assemblages, and assess potential temporal associations between habitat and fish assemblages. Data collected at survey reach are based on a subset of protocols developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the Environmental Monitoring and Evaluation Program (EMAP; Peck et al. 2006).

Continuous Temperature Data, Logger log and tools for compiling annual datasets. Data (Collected across multiple field stations (Kootenai, Little Pend Oreille, Malheur, William L. Finley, and Willapa NWRs) is compiled at a regular frequency into an annual dataset, and then a timeseries.

A vented water-level logger was installed at site MC1 (N 47d 05’ 12.2”/W 122d 43’ 36.8”) and continuously measured water depth and temperature at 15-minute intervals from Nov 22, 2016 to Sept 6, 2017 (288 days). This site is tidally influenced and located 1.12 km from the mouth of McAllister Creek. Elevation (NAVD88) of the water surface above the sensor was surveyed by RTN-GPS. The offset to convert all water depth time-series data to water surface elevation (NAVD88) is -1.052 m. Water depth ranged from 0.69 to 4.88 m. Temperature ranged from 2.8 to 22.5 degrees C.

This reference contains relational and tabular datasets for Aquatic Monitoring for Climate Change - Fish Assemblage and Habitat survey (PRIMR IDs: FF01RKTN00-035, FF01RLPO00-089, FF01RMLH00-125, FF01RWLP00-108, FF01RWMF00-084). These datasets represent ongoing long-term aquatic health and climate change monitoring at Refuges, and incorporates all continuous measures from the pilot project.
