Description This document describes the protocols used by the Department of Ecology, Environmental Assessment Program, Environmental Monitoring and Trends Section to collect continuous water temperature data at stream monitoring stations.

The purpose of this sampling program is to (1) collect continuous temperature data that may be used for trend analyses and (2) determine compliance with current and proposed water quality standards. The data may also be used to interpret the historical monthly temperature data from each sampling station.

Although it is intended as a guidance manual for staff involved with continuous temperature
sampling, this document may also be useful to individuals who would like to know more about these Ecology protocols.
