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 02 September 2004 and 29 April 2005. 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 02 September 2004 10h00 and 29 April 2005 08h00.
