Abstract Here we present a collection of raw and processed temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located off Elands Bay, South Africa. At selected sites around Southern Africa, UTRs have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperatures in the nearshore environment, at depths ranging from 2m to 34m.
Methods The subsurface-mounted, Underwater Temperature Recorder (UTR) was deployed off Elands Bay (32.3167°S; 18.3200°E), along the west coast of South Africa. The instrument measured hourly temperature readings.
