Water Temperature Historical

graph historical Water Temperature Goodwin Dam with temperature thresholds
Historical daily water temperatures from 2007 to present date, Stanislaus River upstream of Knights Ferry for 60 day window before and after "current calendar date". Each "year" is the calendar year for the first date in the 121 day period. Water temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit are color-coded by threshold reference categories (1) steelhead alevins below 54 degrees Fahrenheit, (2) steelhead juveniles (suboptimal) above 68 degrees Fahrenheit, and (3) degrees Fahrenheit between the two. Temperature based coding is for reference only; fish are not present for all dates or all locations. Data from USGS gage 11302000 retrieved from NWIS; figure generated by SacPAS.
graph historical Water Temperature Goodwin Dam years overlayed
Historical daily water temperatures (in degrees Fahrenheit) from 2007 to present date, Stanislaus River upstream of Knights Ferry for 60 day window before and after "current calendar date". Each "year" is the calendar year for the first date in the 121 day period. For all data presented, the minimum Date Period Mean is plotted as Black dotted line. For all data presented, the maximum Date Period Mean is plotted as Black dashed line. Current year is indicated by Black bold solid line. Data from USGS gage 11302000 retrieved from NWIS; figure generated by SacPAS.
