More Information

We use the same QA/QC standards and operation protocols that are used by the 5,800 full year sites in the US and Canada

Six Temperature Sensor sites were picked with input from Denver Parks& Rec, Colorado Parks & Wildlife biologists, Urban Drainage and Flood Control, Colorado Trout Unlimited, Riverwatch, and Denver Trout Unlimited.

New inexpensive sensors have memory and battery capacities to capture temperature data every hour for a full year.
