Long-term observations of hourly bottom temperatures at Port Nolloth (February 1996 - September 1996)

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 07 February 1996 and 25 September 1996.
