Modeled Stream Temp Exploration

Authors: Madeline Kallin and Henry Nieckarz Last Updated: August 6, 2026

This repository provides tutorials and scripts to batch download, read, filter, and export stream temperature and covariate data from the Riverscapes Consortium. Data can be accessed directly at the Riverscapes Stream Temperature Data Exchange

Data Access tutorial

This tutorial details how to access and filter basic stream temperature and covariate data using Python, then converts the dataframe to a CSV file

Spatial Data Tutorial

This tutorial details how to plot the stream temperature data spatially using the data from the riverscapes consortium.

Batch Download Tutorial

This tutorial details how batch download by HUC the basic stream temperature and covariate data using the riverscapes API.

Riverscapes API Dependencies
