Abstract Here we present raw temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 2m off Paternoster (32.7050°S 17.927°E), along the west coast of South Africa, between 02 April 2004 and 28 May 2009. 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 The raw data was collected using an Underwater Temperature Recorder (UTR) that was configured to sample every 60 minutes. The subsurface-mounted, Underwater Temperature Recorder (UTR) was deployed at a depth of 2m off Paternoster (32.7050°S; 17.9267°E), along the west coast of South Africa. The instrument measured hourly temperature readings between 02 April 2004 and 28 May 2009.
