Long-term observations of hourly bottom temperatures at Fort-Dauphin (May 2013 - January 2017)

Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 20m off Fort-Dauphin (25.0051°S 47.0972°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa, between 03 May 2013 and 18 January 2017. 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.
