| Abstract | 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 25 November 2002 and 19 June 2003. Note that the data that falls outside of these dates is not from the deployment. 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 10m off Tsitsikamma (34.0228°S; 23.8997°E), along the south coast of South Africa. The instrument measured hourly temperature readings between 25 November 2002 and 19 June 2003. |
