| Abstract | At selected sites around Southern Africa, Underwater Tempearture Recorders (UTRs) have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperature in the nearshore environment, at depths ranging from 2m to 34m. Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from UTRs located at a depth of 5m off Port Nolloth (29.2524°S; 16.8671°E), along the west coast of South Africa, between 09 February 1995 and 09 August 1995. |
| Methods | A subsurface-mounted, Hugrun Seamon Mini Underwater Temperature Recorder (UTR) was deployed at a depth of 5m off Port Nolloth (29.2524°S; 16.8671°E), along the west coast of South Africa. The instrument measured hourly temperature readings between 09 February 1995 11h00 and 09 August 1995 11h00. |
