Spatially continuous profiles of water temperature were collected with a Sensornet\u00ae Oryx DTS FO-DTS. At each of the three reaches, water temperature was spatially averaged over 1.015-meter intervals and collected at one-hour intervals. Independent water-temperature data collected at four locations per reach by Hobo\u00ae Water Temp Pro v2 data-logging thermistors and thermocouples integrated with the FO-DTS are also included. Water-temperature data from both thermistors and thermocouples were used to dynamically calibrate FO-DTS data using the methods of Hausner and others (2011) and estimate error of the calibrated FO-DTS data over ~10-meter lengths of the fiber-optic cable deployed in the stream and cold-water temperature baths deployed at the upstream and downstream ends of the fiber-optic cable. \nIndependent water-temperature data for calibration was collected by data-logging thermistors verified by a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-certified thermistor with an accuracy of \u00b10.1 \u00b0C. \nHausner, M.B., Su\u00e1rez, F., Glander, K.E., Giesen, N., Selker,  J.S., and Tyler, S.W., 2011, Calibrating single-ended fiber optic raman spectra distributed temperature sensing data: Sensors, v. 11, p. 10,859\u201310,879.
