Abstract

The present article provides long-term (1967–2019) water temperature data collected from Delaware water quality monitoring sites. In Delaware, there are approximately 140 water quality monitoring sites in Piedmont, Delaware Bay, Chesapeake Bay, and Inland Bay drainage basins. Long-term quarterly (i.e., four times a year: Q1—January–February–March; Q2—April–May–June; Q3—July–August–September; Q4—October–November–December) water temperature data were calculated from each water quality monitoring sites’ continuous monthly data. This study focuses on water quality monitoring sites with significant ( p -value identifying linear regression model) increasing or decreasing trends of water temperature. Quarterly water temperature data, statistical analysis, and maps showing increasing and decreasing trend from water quality monitoring sites with significant trends are presented in this article.
