In July 2003, Watershed Sciences, LLC (WS, LLC) conducted airborne thermal
infrared remote (TIR) sensing surveys on selected streams in the Scott and Shasta River
sub-basins in Northern California. The overriding objective of the survey(s) was to
collect TIR and color video imagery in order to characterize spatial temperature patterns
in the basin. The imagery and derived data sets are intended to support ongoing total
maximum daily load (TMDL) studies and related stream temperature modeling efforts
through the California North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (NCRWQCB)
and the Department of Environmental Science and Policy at the University of California at
Davis.
