The model incorporates the STRTEMP > energy balance model (LaMarche et al., 1997) and is designed to replace > empirical approaches like the Sullivan et al. (1990), algorithm currently > incorporated in the Washington Forest Practices Manual. The intent of the > model developed here is twofold. The first intent is to provide the basis > for determining a potential maximum stream temperature based on the 7-day > 10-year low flow (7Q10 flow) and 10-year maximum air temperature in > forested mountain streams. The second intent is to provide a basis for > determing the effects of differing buffer widths on the potential maximum > stream temperature. > > .
