Abstract | Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 3m off Ystervarkpunt (34.395°S; 21.7305°E), along the south coast of South Africa, between 18 November 2010 and 24 October 2011. At selected sites around Southern Africa, UTRs have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperatures in the nearshore environment, at depths ranging from 2m to 34m. Note that for some deployments, two UTRs were deployed to simultaneously record bottom temperatures. |
Methods | Subsurface-mounted, Underwater Temperature Recorder(s) (UTR) were deployed at a depth of 3m off Ystervarkpunt (34.395°S; 21.7305°E), along the south coast of South Africa. The instrument measured hourly temperature readings between 18 November 2010 10h00 and 24 October 2011 18h00. |
