Raw temperature data for long-term observations of bottom temperatures at Sodwana Bay (January 2010 - September 2010)

Here we present raw 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 27 January 2010 and 08 September 2010. 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.
