Metadata: Predictions of river temperature and sensitivity to climate change in Scotland
Abstract:
These layers are the outputs of research which developed a national river temperature model for Scotland capable of predicting both daily maximum river temperature and sensitivity to climate change. The layers show the following: summermaxtw201516 – Predictions of maximum daily river temperatures for the hottest day between July 2015 and June 2016. summermaxtw_2003 – Predictions of maximum daily river temperatures for the hottest year in the last 20 years (2003). summerclimatechange_sensitivity – Predictions of the change in river temperature that would result from a 1°C increase in air temperature A fourth layer has been developed to combine the outputs from “summermaxtw2003” and “summerclimatechangesensitivity” into a single layer that can be used to prioritise management where the relative importance of maximum temperature and temperature change are considered to be equal. This was achieved by (1) dividing the predictions of ‘summermaxtw2003’ and ‘summerclimatechangesensitivity’ into 5 equal categories between the minimum and maximum observed values (2) assigning these categories a value ranging from 1 (the hottest / most sensitive rivers) to 5 (the coolest / least sensitive rivers) (3) sum the rankings (-1) to produce an overall priority ranking (1:9) where rivers ranked as 1 are the highest priority for management (i.e. high river temperature and high climate sensitivity) and 9 the lowest. ManagementPriorityLayer – Management priority on a scale of 1:9 where 1 is the highest priority (i.e. high river temperature and high climate sensitivity) and 9 the lowest

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | River lines were derived from a Digital Rivers Network licensed from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH). River temperature data were obtained from the Scotland River Temperature Monitoring Network (SRTMN: http://www.gov.scot/Topics/marine/Salmon-Trout-Coarse/Freshwater/Monitoring/temperature). SRTMN is a strategically designed and quality controlled monitoring network being delivered by MSS-FFL in collaboration with local rivers and fisheries trusts and boards. The daily maximum river temperature model for Scotland allows current and future river temperatures and sensitivity to climate change to be predicted from; the day of the year (DoY), air temperature on that day, location in the country (region/hydrometric area), location on the river network and the characteristics of the river (elevation, bankside woodland and channel orientation). The predictions can be used to identify areas which may benefit from management action such as native tree planting to reduce maximum temperatures. This information should be combined with an understanding of the processes controlling the effectiveness of riparian shading to make decisions on the precise locations for planting (http://www.gov.scot/Topics/marine/Publications/TopicSheets/tslist/treeplant) The details of the model and predictions can be found in: Jackson, F. L., Fryer, R. J., Hannah, D. M., Millar, C.P., and Malcolm, I. A. (2018) A spatio-temporal statistical model of maximum daily river temperatures to inform the management of Scotland's Atlantic salmon rivers under climate change.
