Long-term observations of nearshore temperatures around southern Africa
Since January 1990, Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) have been deployed at selected sites around Southern Africa to obtain long-term records of bottom temperature in the nearshore environment, at depths ranging from 2m to 34m.
Long-term observations of bottom temperatures at Port St. Johns
Here we present a collection of raw and processed temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located off Port St. Johns. At selected sites around Southern Africa, UTRs have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperatures in the nearshore environment, at depths ranging from 2m to 34m.
Short-term observations of currents and sub-surface temperatures on the continental shelf and slope off Port Edward, along the east coast of South Africa
Between 2005 and 2015, multiple short-term studies were conducted to determine the characteristics of moorings deployed in a region heavily influenced by the strong Agulhas Current, and to examine circulation patterns across the continental shelf and slope off Port Edward, along the east coast of South Africa. Three moorings (P1, P2, and P3) were deployed, just south of Port Edward at depths of 36m, 64m, and 162m, respectively, between September 2005 and September 2006, to measure currents...
Long-term moored observations at the Prince Edward Island archipelago
Here we present long-term observations from the Prince Edward Island (PEI) shelf moorings.

Two...

Processed SADCP data from Leg 1 of the African Coelacanth Ecosystem Programme (ACEP) II on the Algoa Voyage 177, July 2010
The Algoa sailed from Durban on 16 July 2010 to conduct a hydrographic survey of the Natal Bight as part of the winter African Coelacanth Ecosystem Programme (ACEP) II. A total of 16 shore-normal transects were occupied between Scottburgh and St. Lucia. The aim of the synoptic survey was to determine the nutrient sources of the Natal Bight ecosystem, and to characterise the focus sites across the Bight. This dataset was processed using older standards which may not align with international...
