Regression Model for Daily Maximum Stream Temperature
نویسندگان
چکیده
An empirical model is developed to predict daily maximum stream temperatures for the summer period. The model is created using a stepwise linear regression procedure to select significant predictors. The predictive model includes a prediction confidence interval to quantify the uncertainty. The methodology is applied to the Truckee River in California and Nevada. The stepwise procedure selects daily maximum air temperature and average daily flow as the variables to predict maximum daily stream temperature at Reno, Nev. The model is shown to work in a predictive mode by validation using three years of historical data. Using the uncertainty quantification, the amount of required additional flow to meet a target stream temperature with a desired level of confidence is determined.

Modeling maximum daily temperature using a varying coefficient regression model
Relationships between stream water and air temperatures are often modeled using linear or nonlinear regression methods. Despite a strong relationship between water and air temperatures and a variety of models that are effective for data summarized on a weekly basis, such models did not yield consistently good predictions for summaries such as daily maximum temperature. A good predictive model f...

متن کاملPrediction of daily evaporation using hybrid support vector regression-firefly optimization algorithm and multilayer perceptron
Prediction of daily evaporation is a valuable and determinant tool in sustainable agriculture and hydrological issues, especially in the design and management of water resources systems. Therefore, in this study, the ability of artificial intelligence models of multi-layer perceptron (MLP), support vector regression (SVR), and the hybrid model of support vector regression-firefly optimization a...
متن کاملInvestigating controls on the thermal sensitivity of Pennsylvania streams
Stream temperature, an important measure of ecosystem health, is expected to be altered by future changes in climate and land use, potentially leading to shifts in habitat distribution for aquatic organisms dependent on particular temperature regimes. To assess the sensitivity of stream temperature to change in a region where such a shift has the potential to occur, we examine the variability o...
