Raw temperature data for long-term observations of bottom temperatures at Hout Bay (May 2000 - February 2001)

Here we present raw temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 28m off Hout Bay (34.05°S 18.3167°E), along the west coast of South Africa, between 12 May 2000 and 12 February 2001. 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.
