Raw temperature data for long-term observations of Bottom Temperatures at Knysna (September 2019 - June 2022)

At selected sites around Southern Africa, Underwater Temperature 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 raw temperatures from UTRs located at a depth of 7m off Knysna (34.0763°S 23.0602°E), along the south coast of Southern Africa, between 27 September 2019 and 29 June 2022. Note that for some deployments, two UTRs were deployed to simultaneously record bottom temperatures, and that the data that falls outside of these dates is not from the deployment.
