We present a water temperature model for the Trinity River, a major tributary to the Klamath River. Our model uses publically available simulated meteorological data and observed streamflow data to estimate daily mean water temperature. Previous water-temperature modeling studies of the Trinity River include Zedonis (1997), Deas (1998, 2002), and Watercourse Engineering (2007). We structured our model in River Basin Model-10 (RBM10; Yearsley, 2003, 2009) to be compatible with the RBM10 model for the Klamath River developed by Perry and others (2011). Once calibrated and validated, the Trinity.
