Abstract | Here we present raw temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 10m off Tsitsikamma (-34.0228°S 23.8997°E), along the south coast of South Africa, between 16 April 1997 and 27 June 1997. 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 | The raw data was collected using an Underwater Temperature Recorder (UTR) that was configured to sample every 60 minutes. The subsurface-mounted, Underwater Temperature Recorder (UTR) was deployed at a depth of 10m off Tsitsikamma (34.0228°S; 23.8997°E), along the south coast of South Africa. The instrument measured hourly temperature readings between 16 April 1997 and 27 June 1997. |
