Long-term observations of hourly bottom temperatures at Plettenberg Bay, South Africa (April 1991 - June 1991)

Here we present processed hourly subsurface 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 24 April 1991 and 27 June 1991. At selected sites around Southern Africa, UTRs have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperatures 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.
