      <abstract>Warming climates, declining winter snowpacks, and increased periods of drought have contributed to warming stream temperatures and declining stream flows, impacting habitat availability for cold water species. Particularly in the northern Great Basin region available habitat may be restricted to headwaters, where cooler temperatures and reliable stream flows allow cold water species, such as Lahontan cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii henshawi), to persist (Dunham and others 1999, 2003; Warren and others 2014). As these stream habitats contract in relation to warming temperatures and loss of flows, the trout populations they support are increasingly at risk of extinction (Dunham and others 1997, Leasure and others 2020, Neville and others 2021). Between 2010 and 2021, the U.S. Geological Survey Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center (FRESC) conducted stream temperature surveys across the northern Great Basin, southern Pacific Northwest, and western California regions. In this study, data from these surveys were compiled to (1) statistically analyze existing water-temperature data and (2) quantify the sensitivity of the thermal regime within headwater streams. 

This data release includes daily stream temperature time series and statistics, daily flow status time series and wet ratios, and fitted paired air-water sinusoidal regressions and thermal sensitivity metrics. A reproducible workflow for the paired air-water temperature analysis is provided as R scripts within Paired_Air_Stream_Temperature.zip.

      <attraccr>Streams temperature records were obtained from the following data releases: Hockman-Wert and others 2017a; Hockman-Wert and others 2017b; Thorson and others 2020; Thorson and others 2021; and Thorson and others 2022 and compiled into one database (Daily_Stream_Temperature.csv). A total of 519 sites within the Great Basin were included in the initial dataset. The following steps were used to check data quality and remove sites that did not meet data requirements. The final datasets included 436 sites with daily flow status time series and wet ratios; 433 sites with daily stream temperature time series and statistics; 44 sites with fitted paired air-water sinusoidal regressions and thermal sensitivity metrics.    

Streamflow can be variable throughout a water year as precipitation and snow melt contributions vary seasonally. Therefore, wet ratios were calculated by month and averaged to represent annual or seasonal conditions. Variability, represented by a non-zero standard deviation, was observed in the daily flow status for monthly records possessing 21 days or greater, therefore, it is assumed that records with less than 21 days may not capture any changes to the daily flow status. Applying this standard deviation threshold, only months with 21 days or greater as well as water years with more than 1 month (minimum of 2 months is needed to calculate standard deviation) were assessed for annual and seasonal wet ratios.

Stream temperature was processed using reference quality control techniques (Oliver and others, 2024) and 15-minute water temperature data from U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) gages located within the study area. Reference gages were regionally grouped using site coordinates. The daily range exceedance and daily standard deviation were calculated using the regional grouping. These reference statistics were applied to the site stream temperature data for quality control processing prior to analysis. Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center (FRESC) measured hourly temperature data using data loggers with specified accuracy (+/- 0.2 degrees Celsius), compliant with the USGS thermistor criteria. Negative water temps less than -0.2 degrees Celsius were assuming erroneous representation of cold flowing water and were not considered in the daily averages. 

The data release provides files for the final daily stream temperature time series (Daily_Stream_Temperature.csv) and daily flow status times series (Daily_Stream_Flow_Status.csv).</attraccr>

        <procdesc>Daily Streamflow Status &amp; Wet Ratio: 

Continuous water temperature data, daily flow status, site locations, and logger conditions were compiled for 519 sites. Sites missing location information were not included in the analysis. The wet ratio was calculated as the sum of observed “wet” flow conditions over the total number of reported observation days. Sites flagged for snow/ice flow conditions were not included in the analysis. Many sites possessed incomplete records. In order for an averaged monthly flow status of an incomplete month record to most accurately reflect the flow status during that month, we assessed the minimal number of days per month to observe a status change between “dry” or “wet”. Across all sites, months that possessed less than 21 days did not display variance in flow status. Therefore, it was assumed that the resolution of 20 or fewer daily observations per month may not reflect the flow status of that particular month and, resultantly, were not considered in this analysis. Only sites that fit the conditions of (A) with 21 days or greater per month and (B) more than 1 month per water year were considered in analysis. Mean monthly wet ratios were calculated for each water year, defined as October 1 to September 30, as well as spring (April-May-June or AMJ) and summer (July-August-September or JAS) periods. Daily flow conditions are provided in the “Daily_Stream_Flow_Status.csv” file, while mean annual and seasonal wet ratios for each site are provided in the “Site_Information.csv” file.</procdesc>

        <procdesc>Quality Control Statistics from Reference Sites: 

Reference quality control thresholds were calculated using statistics generated from 15-minute water temperature data from USGS published data within the study area (USGS, 2016). USGS published sites ("reference site") with instantaneous (sub-daily) water temperature data were selected within the study area (defined as the spatial domain within this data release) and if they were located within a HUC8 basin possessing a site location. In addition, the elevation of the nearest site location was joined to each reference site. Only reference sites with elevations within +/- 500 meters of the nearest site were used to compute reference statistics. Instantaneous water temperature data was compiled for water years between 2011 to 2021 from the National Water Information System for the following reference sites: 10343500, 10396000, 10336660, 423815118453900, 423830118453200, 424325118495900, 424547118503500, and 424551118503200. 

Following quality control techniques detailed in Oliver and others, 2024, the reference sites were regionally grouped using site locations, rounding latitude and longitude to the tenth degree, and then the daily mean, minimum, and maximum temperature were calculated using the regional groups. The daily range was calculated as the difference between the regional daily maximum and minimum. The maximum daily range, or the daily range exceedance, for the reference sites was 14.3 degrees Celsius. The maximum standard deviation for the reference sites was 4.3 degrees Celsius. These reference statistics were applied to the site stream temperature data for quality control processing prior to analysis. As a result, 6 of 437 sites with water temperature data were not included in the daily stream temperature analysis.

        <procdesc>Daily Stream Temperature &amp; Statistics:

Hourly stream temperature data was compiled only for sites with location information. Stream temperature observations associated with dry or non-continuous flow conditions, as indicated by site information, were not included in the analysis. Hourly stream temperature data was measured using data loggers with specified accuracy (+/- 0.2 degrees Celsius), compliant with the USGS thermistor criteria (Wagner and others, 2006). For each site, duplicate temperature records for a specific date and time stamp were averaged. Negative water temperatures less than -0.2 degrees Celsius were assumed erroneous representations of cold flowing water and not considered in the analysis.

Following similar procedure with reference USGS gage data (Oliver and others, 2024), hourly stream temperature data was regionally grouped and daily mean, minimum, maximum, and range were calculated. Hourly records associated with dates exceeding the daily range maximum of 14.3 degrees Celsius or possessing a daily standard deviation greater than 4.3 degrees Celsius were not included in the following analysis. Daily mean water temperatures were calculated by site and provided in the “Daily_Stream_Temperature.csv” file. Following USGS Continuous Water Temperature Records protocols, temperatures were rounded to the lowest resolution for all calculations of fouling and drift error.

From the daily mean stream temperature data, seven-day moving average daily maximum temperatures (Max7DA) were calculated using the “StreamThermal” vignette from Tsang and others, 2016. Max7AD was calculated by site for annual and seasonal periods, and provided in the “Site_Information.csv” file.

        <procdesc>Paired Air and Stream Temperature Analysis:

Paired air and stream temperature analysis was conducted using the mean daily stream temperatures and spatially-paired PRISM air temperature. A reproducible R workflow for this analysis is provided in the file "Paired_Air_Stream_Temperature.zip". Following guidance in Johnson and others 2021, site data missing more than 7 weeks per water year were not considered in the analysis. Only 44 sites fit this criterion. Daily mean air temperature time series were compiled from the PRISM Air Temperature Data Explorer for each site location with usable water temperature data. PRISM air temperature was used due to limited or unmonitored air temperature at every sites. Using PRISM air temperature rather than locally observed temperatures may produce potential error in fit of data (Johnson and others, 2020).  Paired daily mean air and water temperatures were fit with sinusoidal regression in a linear form, as defined by Johnson and others 2020 as T(t) = a*sin(wt) + b*cos(wt) + T0 + et, where T represents mean daily temperature, T0 is the annual mean temperature, t is time, a and b are linear regression coefficients, w is angular frequency, and et is a linear regression error term. Linear regression coefficients, a and b, and statistical metrics of fit were calculated. Following similar procedures to Hare and others, 2022, thermal sensitivity metrics of phase lag, amplitude ratio, and mean ratio were computed. All 44 sites were simulated for the same date windows (equivalent to one year). The R functions contain a NA (no data) threshold such that for a given site missing greater than 15% of data within a given year will not be fitted and assigned a NA (no data) value for all outputs. All computations for fitting thermal signals and generating thermal metrics are provided in the R script “Fit2Sine.R” within the “Paired_Air_Stream_Temperature.zip” folder. The input and output files are provided in the respective “Input” and “Output” folders. The R script requires supplemental functions specified in the “Fit2Sine_Functions.R” scrips. Required R vignettes are detailed in the script header. Metrics of phase lag, amplitude ratio, and mean temperature ratio were calculated for a given water year, then the median value was taken for each site. Median metrics, for non-NA sites only, are provided in the “Site_Information.csv” file.
