Raw temperature data for long-term observations of bottom temperatures at Port Alfred (November 2000 - March 2001)

Here we present raw temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 4m off Port Alfred (33.6027°S 26.8999°E), along the east coast of South Africa, between 03 November 2000 and 13 March 2001. Note that the data that falls outside of these dates is not from the deployment. At selected sites around South 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.
