Overview

This dataset represents predictions made to individual, local NHDPlusV2 stream segments. Attributes were calculated for every local NHDPlusV2 stream segment. (See Supplementary Info for Glossary of Terms) These predictions were made to provide estimates of reference-condition stream temperatures in support of the 2008-2009 and 2013-2014 (forthcoming) National Rivers and Streams Assessments. These predictions were based on a set of published models (Hill et al. 2013; http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1899/12-009.1). From Hill et al. (2013): "We modeled 3 ecologically important elements of the thermal regime: mean summer, mean winter, and mean annual stream temperature. These models used a set of least-disturbed USGS stations and sites to model stream temperatures from a set of landscape metrics. To build reference-condition models, we used daily mean ST data obtained from several thousand US Geological Survey temperature sites distributed across the conterminous USA and iteratively modeled ST with Random Forests to identify sites in reference condition." These data are summarized to produce local stream segment-level metrics as a continuous data type.
