Rick ThomanIce went out on the Yukon River at Dawson, Yukon Territory Tuesday afternoon (May 5). This is a few days later than average by modern standards but would have been earlier than usual prior to 1970. Data courtesy https://yukonriverbreakup.com/

Rick ThomanIce is slowly rotting on the Tanana River at Nenana and the water level is gradually rising at Nenana and upriver. Break-up though is likely still several days away. Saturday morning live stream webcam image courtesy Nenana Ice Classic. #akwx #Spring2026 #hydrology

Does anyone have suggestions for a (lake) water level monitoring system? Ideally it would be nice to have one that can do readings and record it (data downloadable by bluetooth or something?) manual stick-in-lake method is somewhat feasible, but I would be interested in more consistency. Problem is, no grants for this, so needs to be quite affordable.
@Andbaker maybe you would have ideas?

Dr Micha CampbellThe #BOM is looking for a hydrologist - position sounds pretty applied, but interesting (and ongoing!!). Aussie citizens only, unfortunately.
Daniel PhilippusThe weekly national (contiguous USA) stream temperature forecast continues:
It's expected to be a chilly week for streams, with below-average temperatures almost everywhere outside of the high western mountains. Temperatures will likely drop further in the eastern US, but it's expected to warm up a bit in the west. The western mountains are staying on the warm side as they have for a while, but they are expected to heat up less than the lower-elevation parts of the west. Temperatures range from near-freezing in a few tenaciously cold mountain streams up to the low 30s (high 80s) in the Southeast, similar to last week's forecast. (This forecast is for a total of 913 small [HUC-12] watersheds randomly selected from around the country.)
Warning: this is an experimental stream water temperature forecast for the upcoming week. Results are not guaranteed in any capacity. Typical errors are approximately 2.5 C. This research is funded by the NOAA Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology. These data and related items of information have not been formally disseminated by NOAA, and do not represent any agency determination, view, or policy.
The code used to generate these forecasts is available on GitHub at https://github.com/mines-ciroh/natl-temp-forecast (requires support for ecCodes, for which Linux is recommended).
