| Abstract | Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 7m off Plettenberg Bay, South Africa (-34.0490°S 23.3792°E), along the south coast of Southern Africa, between 25 October 1994 and 25 March 1995. 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. Note that for some deployments, two UTRs were deployed to simultaneously record bottom temperatures. |
| Methods | Subsurface-mounted, Underwater Temperature Recorder(s) (UTR) were deployed at a depth of 7m off Plettenberg Bay, South Africa (-34.0490°S; 23.3792°E), along the south coast of Southern Africa. The instrument(s) measured hourly temperature(s) readings between 25 October 1994 13h00 and 25 March 1995 14h00. |
