"Thermal Profiles for Selected River Reaches of the Methow and Chewuch Rivers, Washington, August 2011" (interim) by Mr. Andrew Gendasz. Longitudinal profiles of near-streambed and near-surface temperatures were collected for selected reaches of the Methow and Chewuch Rivers, Washington, during August 2011 to facilitate development of a stream temperature model near the confluence of the Methow and Chewuch Rivers. Temperature was measured using a probe with an internal datalogger towed behind a watercraft moving downstream at ambient river velocity.
