Raw temperature data for long-term observations of bottom temperatures at Sodwana Bay (February 2023 - November 2023)

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 the data that falls outside of these dates is not from the deployment. Here we present raw temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 18m off Sodwana Bay (27.41483°S 32.72667°E), along the east coast of South Africa, between 14 February 2023 and 05 November 2023.
