Temperature
Averaged mean and averaged median surface water temperatures in Biscayne
Bay are remarkably stable around 25.8 and 26.1 ºC, respectively, with the highest
maximum of 37.4 ºC and lowest minimum of 10.2 ºC at SCI (Fig 3.11). Seasonality is
also very similar across the bay, with maxima in July-August and minima in January,
when variability is higher. Results from Mann-Whitney tests indicate no significant
temperature differences among WQ clusters. This general constancy in temperature is
reflected in DO concentrations, whose solubility in water is strongly controlled by
temperature.

Turbidity
Average water turbidity is in general low in DERM and FIU monitoring programs,
although slightly higher values are reported by DERM. Average turbidity values in bay
waters are lower than those observed in canal waters, ranging from 0.5 (CS and SCI) to
1.9 NTU (MBS), while the maximum recorded value (42.7 NTU) and highest standard
