Abstract	At selected sites around Southern Africa, Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperature in the nearshore environment, at depths ranging from 2m to 34m. Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from UTRs located at a depth of 7m off Knysna (34.0763°S 23.0602°E), along the south coast of Southern Africa, between 11 November 1996 and 17 March 1997. Note that for some deployments, two UTRs were deployed to simultaneously record bottom temperatures.
Methods	A subsurface-mounted, Underwater Temperature Recorder (UTR) was deployed at a depth of 7m off Knysna (34.0763°S; 23.0602°E), along the south coast of Southern Africa. The instrument(s) measured hourly temperature(s) readings between 11 November 1996 13h00 and 17 March 1997 09h00. The UTR deployed during D0006 (Serial number 5546) did not record temperatures higher than 23.0 °C due to a sensor limitation.
