Quantifying riparian canopy energy attenuation and stream temperature using an energy balance approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
/ and 0.25 m3/s within the E-W and N-S reaches respectively. Mean stream temperature was greatest in August and was 24.4 [degrees]C in the E-W reach and 24.0 [degrees]C in the N-S reach. Net shortwave radiation was the primary energy flux causing stream...
Equivalence test of high dimensional microarray data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
