ABSTRACT:

This resource contains the active USGS stations measuring water temperature across the NOAA NWS 13 River Forecast Centers. It includes an educational Jupyter notebook designed to visualize the spatial distribution of these stations within each River Forecast Center (RFC). The notebook demonstrates the process of merging USGS station data with RFC boundaries and provides interactive visualizations to understand the geographic layout of these stations. By analyzing station distribution, this resource aids in evaluating the coverage and data collection capabilities across different RFCs.

ABSTRACT:

This resource contains performance metric data (R2, RMSE, NSE, MAE) compiled from published literature that used machine learning for stream water temperature modeling. The files in this resource were used to create the scatter plots and box plots for Figures 1 to 4 of the review paper, as well as data used to create Tables 3 and 4. We recommend the user reads the README file to understand organization of contents.

Finally, we note that these data and related items of information have not been formally disseminated by NOAA, and do not represent any agency determination, view, or policy.
