Abstract Here we present a collection of raw and processed temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located off Mosterts Hoek, 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 A subsurface-mounted UTR was deployed off Mosterts Hoek (34.1978°S 24.7688°E), along the east coast of South Africa. The instrument(s) measured hourly temperature(s) readings.
