Introduction

Technical Memorandum 7, "Temperature and flow dynamics of the Klamath River," was part of a series of eight Technical Memorandums that focus on distinct topics relevant to a coho life-cycle model being developed for the Klamath Basin. Technical Memorandum 7 was distributed on May 8, 2007 to the following organizations: National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries), California Department of Fish and Game, US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), US Forest Service, Karuk Tribe, Hoopa Valley Tribe, Yurok Tribe, Klamath Tribes, PacifiCorp, Trinity River Restoration Program, Green Diamond Resource Company and the University of California Davis.

A TRB will be prepared in response to comments received for each Technical Memorandum, so reviewers can see how their input has influenced model development. Very few comments were received on Technical Memorandum 7. Commenters were satisfied with the Watercourse Engineering hydrodynamic and water temperature model. A draft of the final report will be distributed for another round of review before it is finalized.
