| Abstract | Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 8m off Mossel Bay (34.1767°S 22.1463°E), along the south coast of South Africa, between 27 January 1998 and 13 July 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. |
| Methods | A subsurface-mounted, Underwater Temperature Recorder (UTR) was deployed at a depth of 8m off Mossel Bay (34.1767°S; 22.1463°E), along the south coast of South Africa. The instrument measured hourly temperature readings between 27 January 1998 13h00 and 13 July 1998 08h00. |
