Short-term observations of currents and sub-surface temperatures on the continental shelf off Port St Johns, along the east coast of South Africa
Between 2013 and 2014, a short-term mooring deployment was conducted to determine the oceanographic characteristics and variability off Port St Johns, along the east coast of South Africa. One mooring (PJ) was deployed, at a depth of 95m, between July 2013 and September 2014. This mooring measured currents, as well as sub-surface bottom temperatures on the continental shelf off Port St Johns on the east coast of South Africa.
