Accomplishments and Shortcomings <br />A. Temperature Data Collection Activities <br /> <br />DWR temperature data collection during FY-93 was influenced by high <br />flows. No thermographs were stolen during FY-93, but two were lost <br />during the high spring flows. The thermograph at Escalante Refuge <br />on the Gunnison River was washed out and lost as was the thermograph <br />at the mouth of the Yampa River, Data was collected at these <br />locations between early May when the thermographs were installed and <br />late June when the thermographs were lost, The thermograph <br />installed below Razorback Bar on the Green River was damaged in late <br />September when a beaver bit the probe cable. All other thermographs <br />were recovered and data was downloaded, The temperature Dbase <br />program was updated and can be accessed easily and be output in <br />several graphic formats, A report on the data collection and <br />database program will be presented at the annual researchers meeting <br />in January, A benefit of <br /> <br />J <br />
