Area Sulphur Creek
Topic Temperature: Floating Weekly Avg, Big Sulphur Cr Sites, 2000
 
Caption:  This Chart shows the floating weekly average water temperature at three sites on Big Sulphur Creek for the year 2000. Maximum floating weekly average water temperatures (MWAT) exceeded 19.0°C at the middle and upper sites but not at the upper site. 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 InfoLinks for more information. Temperature data comes from automated water temperature data probes placed in the Russian River and its tributaries by the California Department of Fish and Game.
