Seawater temperature data from a subtidal habitat in Elands Bay, 1 to 13 February 2024
To better understand the physiological effects of climate change and ocean acidification on marine organisms, information on the environmental conditions experienced in their natural habitats is required. Data from long-term monitoring studies capture in situ variability of environmental parameters that are used to relate experimental findings with field conditions. Elands Bay on the west coast of South Africa is a key location for such research and monitoring. It is a popular location for...

Raw underway Thermosalinograph (TSG) observations from the South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation Basin-wide Array (SAMBA) Monitoring Line cruise on the Algoa Voyage 253, October 2018
Here we present the 6-second resolution raw Thermosalinograph (TSG) data collected between 01 October and 16 October 2018 during the South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation Basin-wide Array (SAMBA) Monitoring Line cruise on the RS Algoa Voyage 253. A SeaBird SBE45 TSG is used to opportunistically collect underway near-surface temperature and conductivity measurements during research and monitoring cruises. Water is continuously pumped to the TSG from an intake located in the hull...

Short-term observations of currents and sub-surface temperatures on the continental shelf and slope along the KwaZulu-Natal Bight, along the east coast of South Africa (project period 2009-2013)
The African Coelacanth Ecosystem Programme (ACEP) III project on Ecosystem Processes in the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Bight, jointly funded by the South African National Research Foundation (NRF) and the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE), with collaborative support from the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), was conducted from 2009 to 2013, in order to improve our understanding of the drivers of ecological functioning and biodiversity of the KZN...
Short-term observations of daily bottom temperatures on the continental shelf off Natal Bight, along the east coast of South Africa at location RiB01 (September 2009 - February 2010)
Between 2009 and 2013, multiple short-term mooring deployments were conducted to determine the oceanographic characteristics and variability along the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Bight, along the east coast of South Africa. One mooring (Sez01) was deployed off Sezela, about 79km south of Durban, at a depth of 30m, between June 2009 and July 2010. Three moorings (Dbn01, Dbn02, and Dbn03) were deployed off Durban at depths of 50m, 420m, and 570m, respectively, between January 2009 and September 2010,...
