Long-term observations of hourly Bottom Temperatures at Knysna (November 1996 - March 1997)

At selected sites around Southern Africa, Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperature in the nearshore environment, at depths ranging from 2m to 34m. Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from UTRs located at a depth of 7m off Knysna (34.0763°S 23.0602°E), along the south coast of Southern Africa, between 11 November 1996 and 17 March 1997. Note that for some deployments, two UTRs were deployed to simultaneously record bottom temperatures.
