The data compilation contains the simulation input and output data the numerical model Heat Source 9 as 
used and described in Trimmel et al. 2016b, and can be used to reproduce the simulation results and graphs of this publication. The input files are in the format as requested by the Heat Source, the output files are as produced by the model. The type of output data inkluding unit is described on line 5, the coding in line 7 is the river distance from mouth in km, the Datetime is given in column A as a 64-bit floating point number where the length of a day equals 1 and 1st Jan 1900 00:00 equals 1 as used in MS Excel. 

The last official version of Heat Source is available online at: http://www.deq.state.or.us/WQ/TMDLs/tools.htm. The changes included into Heat Source 6 within Trimmel et al. 2016a and 2016b will be implemented in the next code version, which will be available at the same location.
