Details

Water temperature in the Delta was modeled as a function of air temperature.

North Delta was modeled using a sample of recent measured water temperature at CDEC station EMM and NOAA CDO air temperature data from Antioch.

South Delta was modeled using a sample of recent measured water temperature at CDEC station MTB and NOAA CDO air temperature data Stockton Airport.
