SAS code for analyzing water temperature data
February 9, 2018
This code may be used to fit linear models with multivariate random effects and heterogeneous measurement-level residual variances. The code as written may be used to estimate associations between water temperature ('temp') and continuous year ('yearctr'), study reach (or field station; 'fs'), log-transformed mean July water discharge (in 1000 cms units; 'logmeanJulycms1000'), number of days from a central sampling date (for a given year, days from a standard month and day; 'jdatectr'), time of sampling (in fractions of hours from noon on the given date; 'timectrhr') and interactions thereof.

Effects of air temperature and discharge on Upper Mississippi River summer water temperatures
Recent interest in the potential effects of climate change has prompted studies of air temperature and precipitation associations with water temperatures in rivers and streams. We examined associations between summer surface water temperatures and both air temperature and discharge for 5 reaches of the Upper Mississippi River during 1994–2011. Water–air temperature associations at a given reach ap
