Long-term record of Hudson River water temperature

This data set contains monthly mean water temperatures for the Hudson River 1908-2007. The measurements were taken at Poughkeepsie NY. This is one of the longest river temperature data sets on record. The majority of the data are sourced from the Poughkeepsie Water Treatment Facility in Poughkeepsie NY. We averaged daily water temperature values to monthly values and added value by filling gaps within the Poughkeepsie Water Treatment Facility data set using USGS data. We do not own the original daily values and do not provide them here. The original daily water temperature values are in the public domain and should be sought from their source (see methods description). The data provided here are described in detail by:
