Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen Simulations for the Upper Missouri River Reservoirs.
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to provide MRD with the ability to predict the effects of reservoir operational changes on suitable coldwater fish habitat in Fort Peck Lake, Lake Sakakawea, Lake Oahe, and Lake Francis Case. Coldwater fish habitat is defined as water less than or equal to l50C and greater than or equal to 5 mgl-1 DO. The only system operational variables which can be changed are end-of-month stages and monthly average releases. Results of this study must therefore predict suitable coldwater fish habitat as a function of these two variables. The results will be incorporated into MRD's Long Range System model (LRS) and will be used to predict suitable coldwater fish habitat under various operational alternatives.
