Description

This spreadsheet contains summer SST trends (℃/decade) for 1,505 and winter SST trends for 740 lakes and estuaries worldwide, derived from MODIS 1-km nighttime SST data during 2003–2023. For lakes, the FID corresponds to the ID used in the HydroATLAS database. Summer is defined as July–September in the Northern Hemisphere and January–March in the Southern Hemisphere, while winter is defined as January–March in the Northern Hemisphere and July–September in the Southern Hemisphere.
