Raw temperature data for long-term observations of bottom temperatures at Hout Bay (September 1995 - July 1996)

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 19 September 1995 and 24 July 1996. 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.
