Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has successfully put thermographs in stream beds to record stream temperatures throughout the year, and if so what method of securing them you used.
We have been securing small Tidbit readers by bolting them in to short pieces of metal pipe and securing those with steel cable either to trees or large boulders up on the stream bank. This method is semi-successful, but occasionally when streams blow-out we loose the readers. I think my predecessors have tried various iterations of staking them with rebar in the stream bed, but that didn't work so well and the cable set up seems to be better. Perhaps it's just the way it goes to loose some every year, but any suggestions would be much appreciated!!
