Project: Modeling Stream Temperatures with the GIS System in the National Wild Fish Health Survey Data Base Report to the MSU Water Center

Primary Investigator: Daniel Goodman
Project Summary: The seasonal pattern of stream temperatures is a key determinant of the distribution, spread, and intensity of the whirling disease epizootic. The investigators used a validation database of Montana stream temperatures to develop a model and database to calculate the mean daily water temperature for any location on any stream in Montana, for any day in the past 21 years. For a particular stream of interest, one week of calibration data is needed. This model will allow statistical examination of the disease epidemiology as it relates to water temperature.
