Dataset extent

Raw temperature data for long-term observations of bottom temperatures at Mossel Bay (January 1993 - May 1993)

Here we present raw temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 8m off Mossel Bay (34.1767°S 22.1463°E), along the south coast of South Africa, between 18 January 1993 and 24 May 1993. 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.
