7. Logger calibration & QC are critical for the reliable assessment of river temperature trends. Failure to calibrate loggers can lead to spatio-temporal biases. These principles were core to the establishment of the Scotland River Temperature Monitoring Network #SRTMN www.gov.scot/publications...
"there are clear tradeoffs that exist when developing water temperature-related fishery closures for both the salmon & angler... more restrictive river closures should be evaluated and considered when salmon abundance is low" #river #temperature #SRTMN
New paper: uses a simplified process based river temperature model to identify where riparian trees can be most effective in reducing maximum river temperatures. Large scale opportunity mapping with a reach scale resolution. #SRTMN
Unfortunately no discussion of the benefits of riparian woodland for reducing river temperatures for #salmon and other cold water adapted freshwater species. For those that are interested in wider benefits to rivers check out our #SRTMN web pages.
1. It may look like #FFLEnvironmentGroup has gone quiet. But we have been working flat out in #lockdown to maintain #Girnock and #Baddoch trap data, download & calibrate #SRTMN loggers, develop a simplified process Tw model to prioritise tree planting, age #NEPS scales samples,..
Some interesting examples of landscape and trees shading rivers today. The Scotland River Temperature Monitoring Network #SRTMN was setup to provide evidence and management tools to establish where trees can be most effective in combating #ClimateChange
This week in 2015, I was out installing the last of the temperature dataloggers for #SRTMN with @Faye_L_Jackson. Today @PaulineProudlo1 is out downloading to ensure we maintain this valuable dataset to inform management of #rivers & #fisheries under #ClimateChange @marinescotland
Great to hear that #SRTMN models and tools are being used by @RiverDeeTeam staff to the make the case for riparian tree planting with landowners on the River Dee. @marinescotland @freshwaterflows @Faye_L_Jackson
Good to see @marinescotland Scotland River Temperature Monitoring Network #SRTMN featuring in the news today.
Nice talk on transferability of spatial statistical river temperature models between #SRTMN catchments @Faye_L_Jackson
