Thermal extremes in regulated river systems under climate change: an application to the southeastern U.S. rivers
High river temperatures, or ‘thermal extremes’, can cause fish mortality and thermoelectric powerplant derating. Under climate change, projected higher air temperature and stronger surface energy fluxes will lead to increased water temperatures, exacerbating thermal extremes. However, cold hypolimne...
