Evaluation of the 1996 predictions of the run-timing of wild migrant spring/summer yearling chinook in the Snake River Basin using Program RealTime

摘要

This report is a post-season analysis of the accuracy of the 1996 predictions from the program RealTime. Observed 1996 migration data collected at Lower Granite Dam were compared to the predictions made by RealTime for the spring outmigration of wild spring/summer chinook. Appendix A displays the graphical reports of the RealTime program that were interactively accessible via the World Wide Web during the 1996 migration season. Final reports are available at address http://www.cqs. washington.edu/crisprt/. The CRISP model incorporated the predictions ofthe run status to move the timing forecasts further down the Snake Riverto Little Goose, Lower Monumental and McNary Dams. An analysis of the dams below Lower Granite Dam is available separately.
