Evaluation of stream temperature regimes for juvenile coho salmon in Redwood Creek using thermal infrared
Ozaki V and Anderson DG. 2005. Evaluation of stream temperature regimes for juvenile coho salmon in Redwood Creek using thermal infrared. Technical Report NPS/NRWRD/NRTR-2005/331. Water Resources Division, National Park Service
Authors' summary: "In 2003, Redwood National and State Parks contracted for thermal infrared imaging of Redwood Creek, California. On July 29, 2003, about sixty miles (90 % of the stream length) of Redwood Creek was photographed in 1½ hours and 2,653 overlapping thermal images were acquired. The surface water temperature along the main channel of Redwood Creek was measured from thermal images, the spatial distribution of water temperature quantified, and warm versus cool reaches identified. A color digital video of the Redwood Creek channel, acquired in tandem with the thermal images, also provided good coverage of existing channel and riparian conditions. This project supports water quality assessments focused on the recovery of federally listed salmonid species (chinook and coho salmon and steelhead trout) in Redwood Creek and provides baseline data on which to measure future thermal response/recovery."
