Description
Summary: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 daily subsurface temperatures from two UTRs located at a depth of 5m off Port Nolloth (29.2524°S; 16.8671°E), along the west coast of South Africa, between 10 August 1995 and 07 February 1996. ... : Two subsurface-mounted, Hugrun Seamon Mini Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTR's) were deployed at a depth of 5m off Port Nolloth (29.2524°S; 16.8671°E), along the west coast of South Africa. The instruments measured hourly temperature readings between 10 August 1995 and 07 February 1996. These hourly values were averaged to daily means. Daily values were only generated for days on which there were 75 % or more hourly readings. ...
