Accuracy of Hourly Water Temperatures in Rivers Calculated from Air Temperatures

Water temperature is a critical variable for water quality control and management. The primary objective of this paper was to develop and compare simple methods to estimate hourly water temperatures in rivers. The wave function (WF) model, originally used to calculate hourly air temperature, was mod...
