Abstract | Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 28m off Hout Bay (34.05°S 18.3167°E), along the west coast of South Africa, between 30 August 1994 and 11 April 1995. At selected sites around Southern Africa, UTRs have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperature in the nearshore environment, at depths ranging from 2m to 34m. |
Methods | A subsurface-mounted, Underwater Temperature Recorder (UTR) was deployed at a depth of 28m off Hout Bay (34.05°S; 18.3167°E), along the west coast of South Africa. The instrument measured hourly temperature readings between 30 August 1994 15h00 and 11 April 1995 12h00. |
