Environmental gage data for each tributary in the SR JPE. Data includes flow and temperature measurements from gages located on tributaries and the Sacramento River mainstem. Data were compiled from CDEC, USGS, and USFWS sources and are summarized by week and statistic type. Interpolation was performed to fill in data gaps where temperature data were missing or the time series was incomplete. For the Feather River and Yuba River, temperature values were interpolated using regression models based on nearby gages and historical data, allowing for consistent estimation across incomplete records. The temporal coverage of flow data ranges from 1930 to 2025, and temperature data ranges from 1994 to 2025.

environmental_data

Format

  • year: Year associated with environmental measure

  • week: Week associated with environmental measure

  • statistic: Summary static used to summarize flow and temperature measures into a single daily reccord (min, mean, max)

  • value: Flow or temperature measurements

  • stream: Stream environmental data is collected on

  • gage_agency: Agency providing flow or temperature data, most data pulled from CDEC or USGS

  • gage_number: Unique identifier of gage used to query flow and temperature data

  • parameter: Parameter measured, includes "flow" and "temperature"

  • site_group: Site group, used to separate traps within the same stream that have unique environmental conditions.
