Popis: Daily variation of Danube River temperature measured at Oltenitț gauging station over 9 years (2008-2016) was analysed in comparison with the air temperature measured by satellite in the same location between 1979-2020. Air temperature shows a nearly 2°C increase over the 40-years period, which can be attributed to both climate warming and anthropic impact. Water temperature was modeled with a sinusoidal function and variation with discharge was discussed. Long-term trend of hourly surface air temperature variation was obtained from Open Weather data. Air - water temperature dependency was fitted with a logistic function with good approximation. Resulting correlations help predict water temperature as a function of satellite - measured air temperature.
