Raw temperature data for long-term observations of bottom temperatures at Tsitsikamma (June 1997 - January 1998)

Here we present raw temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 10m off Tsitsikamma (-34.0228°S 23.8997°E), along the south coast of South Africa, between 27 June 1997 and 30 January 1998. 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.
