Reach-scale predicted annual streamflow permanence probabilities, predicted monthly mean stream temperature for August, and predicted monthly streamflow discharge for stream reaches in the Pacific Northwest, USA (2004-2015) (ver. 2.0, January 2023)

February 15, 2022

This dataset is a combination of annual Probability of Streamflow Permanence (PROSPER) predictions, Northwest Stream Temperature (NorWeST) predictions of monthly mean stream temperatures for August of each year, and predicted monthly streamflow discharge for stream reaches in the Pacific Northwest from the USGS database of natural monthly streamflow estimates, U.S., 2004-2015. The PROSPER model provides predictions of the annual probability of a 30-meter stream segment maintaining year-round streamflow. The NorWeST model provides annual predictions of monthly mean stream temperature for August for 1-kilometer stream segments. Finally, predictions of natural monthly streamflow were combined with NorWeST and PROSPER to provide information on the volume of water in a given system. The data are merged using the Medium Resolution National Hydrography Dataset, which serves as the foundation for the stream lines that the data are represented with. The intent of this merged dataset is to analyze the availability of current and future aquatic habitat.
