The WET-Temp (Watershed Evaluation Tool – Temperature) model is designed to estimate stream temperature distribution using spatially explicit data sets.
Travel time, classified speed, and flow data were generated for 24 h periods on both days and used to estimate stream travel time and develop and validate models.
Elements and framework of the uncertainty analysis presented in this paper can be applied to other instruments that estimate stream discharge using a section-by-section method.
Developing reliable methods to estimate stream baseflow has been a subject of interest due to its importance in catchment response and sustainable watershed management.
A wind function that has been used to estimate stream evaporation in a number of previous studies, but which had not been compared to measured stream evaporation, was found to overestimate evaporation.
This study is a pioneer in the investigation of Bluetooth as traffic sensor under Turkey traffic conditions and presents penetration and class-wise distribution analyses, in addition to proposing a method to estimate stream travel time from sampled Bluetooth data.
These models are capable of estimating stream health scores based on the Index of Biological Integrity.
Such information was useful for penetration analysis, class identification, and validation of estimated stream travel times.
This technique was successful in estimating stream travel time accurately with an average MAPE of 2%%.
