Area Sonoma Creek
Topic Temperature: Floating Weekly Average, Sonoma Creek Four Sites 2000
 
Caption:  The Chart shows the floating weekly average water temperature in Celsius (°C) in Sonoma Creek for four sites in 2000. Maximum floating weekly average water temperatures (MWAT) exceeded 17.0°C at all four sites, and exceeded 19.0°C at two of four sites. Based on a review of steelhead growth studies, Sullivan et al. (2000) found that compared to optimum temperatures, an MWAT of 17.0°C reduced steelhead growth by 10%, and an MWAT of 19.0°C reduced growth by 20%. See Info Links for more information. Temperature data comes from automated water temperature data probes placed in the Sonoma Creek tributaries by the Sonoma Ecology Center.
