Bottom temperatures ... : Here we present raw temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 2m off Paternoster (32.7050°S 17.927°E), along the west coast of South Africa, between 24 August 1990 and 30 November 1990. Note that the data that falls outside of these dates is not from the deployment. 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. ...
