Diurnal cycles of temperature in a small, shallow stream, across Lake Mendota from Madison, also with a decline in both min and max temperature in the past week.

I'm glad it's cooling off somewhere, here in the PNW we're supposed to get our hottest temperatures of the year next week. I'm NOT looking forward to it.

The daily min looks very out of scale with the rest of the oscillation

There are spikes in both directions. Not sure what the cause is but it looks like they're filtered out before calculating daily max and min.

Probably there is a USGS document on standard water temp methods that explains this.
