Water Temperature Data Logger Protocol
The Water Temperature Data Logger Protocol for Cook Inlet Salmon Streams is intended to promote enhanced water temperature data collection efforts in salmon streams and reduce the variability of water temperature data quality due to sampling techniques. The purpose of this protocol is to describe guidelines for the selection, calibration, placement, maintenance, and retrieval of water temperature data loggers in Cook Inlet salmon streams. This protocol does not cover lakes, reservoirs, and large non-wadeable rivers. This information is written for a general audience to make it easier for other Cook Inlet water quality partners andother community-level groups throughout Alaska to implement stream temperature monitoring in salmon-bearing streams.
