Raw temperature data for long-term observations of bottom temperatures at Pondoland (October 2015 - August 2016)
Here we present raw temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 18.1m off Pondoland (31.2930°S 30.0168°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa, between between 31 October 2015 and 12 August 2016. Note that the data that falls outside of these dates is not from the deployment. 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....

Preprocessed Seaglider data collected during GINA 2017 by Seaglider SG574
The Gliders IN the Agulhas (GINA) project is a multi-institutional effort to implement sustained glider observations around South Africa’s coastline to enhance existing regional networks and complement larger international observations systems such as the Ocean Gliders Boundary Ocean Observing Network (BOON). Ocean gliders are robotic platforms operated and piloted from land. The Seaglider during GINA was set-up to vertically profile the water column between depths of 0 and 1000m....
