Maximum Temperatures

By a depth of 10 cm into the streambed, water temperatures are likely to be different from those in the open water of the stream. Combined results from three independent studies on disparate streams on the Pacific Northwest coast indicated that there are widespread similarities in the thermal behavior of intragravel water. In general, the thermal mass of the substrate causes parallel but lagged and buffered heating and cooling trends in infiltration-source intragravel water compared with surface water. Intragravel mean daily temperatures were generally 0.5–1.0 °C warmer in winter and 0.5–1.5 °C cooler in summer, with cross-overs around March and October; intragravel daily maximum temperatures could be up to 6 °C different in summer (a difference of 4 °C was common). The degree of difference showed considerable site-specific variation, and potentially can be affected by several factors. Such intragravel temperature differences have implications for those involved in salmonid egg incubation and fry emergence studies, enhancement projects, benthic invertebrate research, and environmental impact assessments.

Recent genomic studies of both ancient and modern indigenous people of the Americas have shed light on the demographic processes involved during the first peopling. The Pacific Northwest Coast proves an intriguing focus for these studies because of its association with coastal migration models and genetic ancestral patterns that are difficult to reconcile with modern DNA alone. Here, we report the low-coverage genome sequence of an ancient individual known as “Shuká Káa” (“Man Ahead of Us”) recovered from the On Your Knees Cave (OYKC) in southeastern Alaska (archaeological site 49-PET-408). The human remains date to ∼10,300 calendar (cal) y B.P. We also analyze low-coverage genomes of three more recent individuals from the nearby coast of British Columbia dating from ∼6,075 to 1,750 cal y B.P. From the resulting time series of genetic data, we show that the Pacific Northwest Coast exhibits genetic continuity for at least the past 10,300 cal y B.P. We also infer that population structure existed in the late Pleistocene of North America with Shuká Káa on a different ancestral line compared with other North American individuals from the late Pleistocene or early Holocene (i.e., Anzick-1 and Kennewick Man). Despite regional shifts in mtDNA haplogroups, we conclude from individuals sampled through time that people of the northern Northwest Coast belong to an early genetic lineage that may stem from a late Pleistocene coastal migration into the Americas.

Abstract The space heating energy needed during the winter heating season in Seattle Washington, USA, was monitored over a 15 year period, 1987–2002. Single family residence houses were constructed to building code standards in force at the time of construction and two more to standards calling for envelopes with improved thermal resistance. Although space conditioning energy needs are strongly affected by occupant behavior, simulations generally ignore the temporal occupant behavior in estimating the energy needed for heating and cooling. Vigorous conservation tactics, which produce a thermal response that is highly transient, can lead to substantially different energy needs. No correlation could be established from the measured space heating when aggressive conservation made use of thermostat setback at every opportunity. In this paper we investigate the effects of occupant behavior and the effect of temporal solar heating of walls in the Seattle area for improved thermal construction.
