Dataset extent

Raw temperature data for long-term observations of bottom temperatures at Port Alfred (November 2014 - November 2015)

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 07 November 2014 and 13 November 2015. 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.
