Characterizing stream temperature to support habitat restoration : a review of methods and best practices / by Paula A. Soto, and David A. Reid.: Fs97-6/3758E-PDF

"Extended periods of high-water temperatures are an increasing occurrence in Pacific Region waterways, and as a result, habitat restoration practitioners are increasingly seeking to improve or preserve stream temperature attributes favourable to salmonids and other fish species. To support this work, monitoring of baseline thermal conditions and project effectiveness related to temperature must occur. A broad suite of methods exist to support temperature monitoring; however, it is not always clear which methodology is best suited for a specific site or project objective. Considering the critical need to select a suitable methodology, we provide an overview of temperature monitoring approaches organized into three broad categories - spatial, temporal and hybrid (a combination of both). We also outline information for selecting an optimal temperature characterization and monitoring approach in addition to monitoring methods based on restoration objectives"--Abstract, page v.
