Temperature Modeling in Surface Water Bodies

The paper, Water Temperature Modeling: A Practical Guide, was presented at the EPA Stormwater and Water Quality Model Users Group Meeting on April 12-13, 1984 in Detroit, Michigan.  It provides useful advice on modeling temperature and developing the meteorological parameters needed to model temperature.

The program, EQUILO, is a BASIC computer language program for computing the equilibrium temperature of a water body.  An executable version for execution under MS DOS or in the DOS window in Windows is provided, as is the source code developed for Microsoft QuickBASIC..
