Abstract

Water temperature in the river and streams are important for water quality aspects altering the ecology and affecting the survival and habitat of different freshwater flora and fauna. Higher temperatures are hence undesirable in such an environment. This data provides documentation of temperature data of the Logan River, UT using a database structure and a jupyter notebook for extracting and visualizing those data. The visualization of maximum temperature variation for each site for the data period and the month of July shows higher temperatures in Sites 2 (near Mendon Road), 13 (near Blacksmiths fork), and 3 (near Main street) which is not suitable for coldwater fish. The distribution of average temperature variations however shows the temperature within the range of requirement ( less than 20oC).

Content

Readme.txt

This resource contains a dataset for the temperature data from the Logan River, UT, from various monitoring stations maintained by the Logan River Observatory. 

SQLite File:

The data for temperature is stored in the SQLite database. It contains temperature data from six sites of the Logan River. The file can be downloaded and viewed using DB browser.

Jupyter Notebook:

This file contains code for extracting the temperature data from the SQLite file. Average and maximum temperature values are extracted and stored in a dataframe. 
Daily maximum temperature variation for the month of July at each site is visualized using a line plot.
Variation of daily average and daily maximum temperature for the data period is visualized using a box plot.
