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 12 November 2006 and 19 June 2007. 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 12 November 2006 12h00 and 19 June 2007 13h00. |
