Thanks, Andrew. I will.

plotmath didn't have the solution;


Really? What was wrong with this?


plot(1, 1, xlab=expression(32^degree) )  # the example given on ?plotmath

the use of the LaTeX ^ for a superscript
had a character or number preceeding it. Using 'degree' prints that string
on the axis.

What does work is using the unicode for the degree symbol as prefix to
either C or F. In my case:
    ylab('Water Temperature (\u00B0C)')
does the job.

I found this solution with the DDG search string, 'degree symbol in R plot
axis label'. This stackexchange thread has the answer:
