| Abstract | Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from Underwater Temperature Records (UTRs) located at a depth of 18m off Sodwana Bay (27.41483°S 32.72667°E), along the east coast of South Africa, between 21 November 1995 and 19 March 1996. 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 UTR was deployed at a depth of 18m off Sodwana Bay (27.41483°S; 32.72667°E), along the east coast of South Africa. The instrument measured hourly temperature readings between 21 November 1995 09h00 and 19 March 1996 08h00. |
