Stream Thermal Sensitivities in Southern Alaska
This project characterized stream temperature regimes in the Cook Inlet, Copper River, and Prince William Sound regions. We aggregated 1,548 summertime stream temperature time series from 355 monitoring locations across southwestern and southcentral Alaska and calculated a suite of metrics related t...

Thermal sensitivities decreased under higher summertime precipitation and changed minimally between years with low and high snowpack. The strongest control on ???? was watershed slope. Streams draining steeper watersheds had lower ????, which may be due to snowmelt contributions later in the summer period, shorter water residence times, and deeper flowpaths that experience less solar radiation. Chum and pink salmon habitats had the lowest ????, followed by spawning habitats. Rearing habitats and Chinook, coho, and sockeye salmon habitats all had higher ????.
