Short-term observations of daily bottom temperatures on the continental shelf off Port St Johns, along the east coast of South Africa (December 2013 - September 2014)

Between 2013 and 2014, a short-term mooring deployment was conducted to determine the oceanographic characteristics and variability off Port St Johns, along the east coast of South Africa. One mooring (PJ) was deployed, at a depth of 90m, between July 2013 and September 2014. This mooring measured currents, as well as sub-surface bottom temperatures on the continental shelf off Port St Johns on the east coast of South Africa. Here we present processed daily bottom temperatures (85 m) from an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) at location PJ (31.73°S; 29.51°E) on the continental shelf off Port St Johns, between December 2013 and September 2014.
