Justification <br />Previous experience has demonstrated that maintaining thermistors during diurnal fluctuating flow dam <br />operations requires a technician be onsite to visit the thermistor arrays at study sites every day. <br />Deploying and maintaining thermistor arrays is outside the scope of work for the nearshore ecology <br />project. Therefore, we propose hiring a 180 -day temporary technician who would go on the nearshore <br />ecology trips and deploy and maintain thermistors. <br />Scope of Work 2 <br />We propose collecting thermal infrared imagery in June 2010 during fluctuating operations, so that <br />managers can evaluate the increase in nearshore warming that occurs during summer steady flows. We <br />also propose collecting these same data in late August during fluctuating operations and again in early <br />September during steady operations to evaluate the magnitude of nearshore warming that occurs with <br />steady flows in the fall. These data will help inform results of FSEF and also help inform discussions <br />about future experiments that might include steady flows in the summer. <br />Budget <br />Acquiring thermal infra -red imagery for RM 30 to 72, the same reach that was covered in 2000, would <br />cost approximately $35,000 per flight. Two weeks of Phil Davis' time would be required to process <br />imagery from each flight ($6,000/2 -week pay period). <br />32 <br />
