Figure 33.—Mean discharge of the principal gaged streams of the Florida west coast. Liters per second = cubic feet per second X (Data from water supply publications of the Geological Survey.) flow of Florida streams (Kenner, 1969). They were consulted but not used directly. WATER TEMPERATURE Only if daily measurements have been made for several years can the water temperature characteristics of a location be described with confidence. Fortunately, the Coast and Ge- odetic Survey began such measurements in the 1920's and the 1940's with the result that Key West Harbor, Tampa Bay at St. Petersburg, Cedar Key Harbor, and Pensacola Bay at Pen- sacola are adequately characterized. Additional historical data back to the 1870's are available (Bumpus, 1957). The Key West measurements extended from 1940 to 1962, those at St. Petersburg from 1947 to 1962, those at Cedar Key from 1922 to 1926 and from 1945 to 1962, and those at Pensacola from 1924 to 1962 ( Coast and Geodetic Survey, 1965). Although Key West is several miles west of Florida Bay, we assume that its water temperature is about the same as that at southwestern Florida Bay. Minimum surface water temperatures were °F (°C) at Key West, °F (°C) at St. Petersburg, °F (°C) at Cedar Key, and °F (°C) at Pensacola. Maxima were about the same at all 55.
