Raw temperatures data for long-term observations of bottom temperatures at Mosterts Hoek, South Africa (July 1998 - October 1998)

Here we present raw temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 4m off Mosterts Hoek (34.1978°S 24.7688°E), along the east coast of South Africa, between 12 July 1998 and 23 October 1998. Note that the data that falls outside of these dates is not from the deployment. At selected sites around South 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.
