Raw temperature data for long-term observations of bottom temperatures at Plettenberg Bay, South Africa (August 1992 - November 1992)

Here we present raw temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 7m off Plettenberg Bay, South Africa (-34.0490°S 23.3792°E), along the south coast of Southern Africa, between 20 August 1992 and 16 November 1992. 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.
