Mainstem Sacramento River Habitat Data

Datasets used to calculate spawning, instream, and floodplain rearing habitat areas for Chinook Salmon and Steelhead

Spawning

Datasets containing the Weighted Usable Area (WUA) in square feet per 1000 feet as a function of flow in cubic feet per second for Fall Run (FR), Late-fall Run (LFR), Winter Run (WR), and Steelhead (ST).

  • upper_sac_ACID_boards_in

  • upper_sac_ACID_boards_out

Data Format:

  • flow_cfs - flow value in cubic feet per second

  • FR_spawn_wua - Spawning WUA in square feet per 1000 feet (Fall Run)

  • LFR_spawn_wua - Spawning WUA in square feet per 1000 feet (Late-Fall Run)

  • ST_spawn_wua - Spawning WUA in square feet per 1000 feet (Steelhead)

  • WR_spawn_wua - Spawning WUA in square feet per 1000 feet (Winter Run)

  • watershed - Name of watershed
