Summary

This dataset includes all files used to model groundwater-surface water exchange at mainstem locations on the lower Quillayute River, Washington, in summer 2021. Sediment temperature data was collected continuously from June to September 2021 at multiple depths using temperature rods that were installed into the streambed. Temperature data was collected at depths of 1, 4, 7, 11, and 50 cm using internally logging iButton temperature sensors (model DS1922L). Specific discharge across the sediment-water interface was estimated using the tempest1d model; a python-based model that solves a 1-dimensional heat flux equation (McAliley and others, 2022a; McAliley and others, 2022b). The tempest1d model was run at 6 different sites within [...]

Purpose

The dataset presented supports a study to characterize late-summer thermal dynamics within the Quillayute River and its major tributaries. This study will provide the Quileute Tribe, Wild Salmon Center, and other partners with information on groundwater-surface water interactions and the occurrence and distribution of cold-water refuges within the Quillayute River Basin to guide salmon habitat restoration efforts and document present conditions for comparison to future conditions.
