Dataset extent

Raw temperature data for long-term observations of bottom temperatures at Mangolds Pool, South Africa (October 1996 - May 1997)

Here we present raw temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 5m off Mangolds Pool, South Africa (34.0487°S; 25.5867°E), along the south coast of Southern Africa, between 14 October 1996 and 2 May 1997. 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. Note that for some deployments, two UTRs were deployed to simultaneously record bottom temperatures.
