Long-term observations of hourly bottom temperatures at Sodwana Bay (March 2013 - June 2013)

Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from Underwater Temperature Records (UTRs) located at a depth of 18m off Sodwana Bay (27.41483°S 32.72667°E), along the east coast of South Africa, between 26 March 2013 and 20 June 2013. 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.
