The Delaware River basin is a diverse physiographic, hydrologic, and climatic region. The Delaware River serves as a major source of water for nearly 20 million people both in and outside the basin. Questions associated outside the variability of climate, the potential for climate change, and attendant implications for water resources and supply across this region in the coming decades require that there first be an appraisal of current climate conditions. To this end, graphs and maps for average monthly, seasonal, and annual values of temperature and precipitation across the basin during the period 1950-79 have been compiled in atlas form. Additional variables, including water budget terms, drought, cloud cover, hurricanes, and others have also been graphed and mapped. ' R" f^ FIGURE 11. Distribution of average annual temperature in the Delaware River basin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
