title: Long-term observations of hourly bottom temperatures at Port Nolloth (February 1991 - July 1991)

description: Processed hourly subsurface temperatures from UTRs located at a depth of 5m off Port Nolloth (29.2524°S; 16.8671°E).
description: At selected sites around Southern Africa, Underwater Tempearture Recorders (UTRs) have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperature in the nearshore environment, at depths ranging from 2m to 34m. Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from UTRs located at a depth of 5m off Port Nolloth (29.2524°S; 16.8671°E), along the west coast of South Africa, between 05 February 1991 and 10 July 1991.
description: A subsurface-mounted, Hugrun Seamon Mini Underwater Temperature Recorder (UTR) was deployed at a depth of 5m off Port Nolloth (29.2524°S; 16.8671°E), along the west coast of South Africa. The instrument measured hourly temperature readings between 05 February 1991 13h00 and 10 July 1991 19h00.

title: Seawater temperature in the microhabitats of intertidal marine invertebrates in Sea Point, 09 December 2021 to 08 January 2022

description: Conservation Physiology Programme
description: To better understand the physiological effects of marine invertebrates to changing environmental conditions, long-term monitoring which captures the natural variability of environmental parameters is required. In this way, experimental findings can be related back to field conditions, and better predictions can be made as to how marine invertebrates, particularly in the harsh intertidal, will fair with rising temperature. In May 2020, Cape Sea Urchins, Parechinus angulosus, were collected from intertidal rock pools at Sea Point, which is situated along the southwest coast of South Africa. After chronic incubation in low pH conditions at the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment's (DFFE) Sea Point Research Aquarium, their response to thermal stress was investigated in recent experimental trials. To calculate the thermal window for these marine invertebrates, both habitat temperatures, as well as their threshold temperatures are required. The latter was obtained by examining the Critical Thermal Maximum temperatures (CTmax), i.e. the temperatures at which organisms respond with uncoordinated mobility, whereas habitat temperatures are available through the deployment of temperature loggers in the intertidal pools inhabited by these organisms. Three prominent rockpools were chosen Sea Point, Cape Town (>5 m apart) to install HOBO TidbiT temperature loggers. Two loggers were placed in each pool. Here we present the cleaned up version of temperature measurements from Pool 1: 33.920317 S, 18.379417 E, logger 10687237 and 20195550; Pool 2: 33.920267 S, 18.379417 E, logger 10687240 and 20195543; Pool 3: 33.920167 S, 18.379717 E, logger 20195539 and 20195574, from 09 December 2021 to 08 January 2022.
description: The details of each pool are captured in the 'README' file. The loggers were set to record temperature every 5 minutes.The current design is attaching loggers via cable ties to I-bolts drilled into the substrate. All loggers were positioned facing the sea. Data were extracted from the loggers using HOBOware Pro software and exported into Excel files. Times are GMT+2. The data available are the raw files (all temperatures even outside of the rockpools) and 'clean' files where only the temperatures recorded once loggers were placed into the rockpools are provided. Only where possible, data were downloaded and loggers deployed on a monthly basis. Nonetheless, clean data are presented on a monthly basis for each pool (x2 loggers per pool). Where required, to avoid the inclusion of any 'handling' temperatures in the clean datasets, the temperatures extracted are from ten minutes once loggers are deployed, and 10 minutes before they are removed to download data.

title: Short-term observations of hourly sub-surface temperatures on the continental shelf and slope off Port Edward, along the east coast of South Africa at location P5 (July 2014 - June 2015)

description: Hourly sub-surface temperatures from two ADCPs at depths of 493m and 499m at location P5 (31.1243°S; 30.3361°E).
description: Between 2005 and 2015, multiple short-term studies were conducted to determine the characteristics of moorings deployed in a region heavily influenced by the strong Agulhas Current, and to examine circulation patterns across the continental shelf and slope off Port Edward, along the east coast of South Africa. Three moorings (P1, P2, and P3) were deployed, just south of Port Edward at depths of 36m, 64m, and 162m, respectively, between September 2005 and September 2006, to measure currents and bottom temperatures across the inner shelf. A further three moorings (P4, P5, and P6) were deployed off Port Edward over the period September 2010 to June 2015, at depths of 217m, 1060m, and 2000m, to measure currents and sub-surface temperatures across the outer shelf and slope. Here we present hourly sub-surface temperatures from two ADCPs at depths of 493m and 499m at location P5 (31.1243°S; 30.3361°E) on the outer shelf and slope off Port Edward, between 16 July 2014 and 19 June 2015.
description: A sub-surface, upward-looking, 75 kHz RD Instruments Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) was deployed at location P5 (31.1243°S; 30.3361°E), on the outer shelf and slope of Port Edward, along the east coast of South Africa. A temperature sensor on the instrument measured hourly temperature readings between 16 July 2014 09h50 and 19 June 2015 06h50, at depths of 493m and 499m.

An alternative to placement on fully exposed rocks where it would be subjected to theft.This data will allow for an indication of the most extreme temperatures in the vicinity of the pool. Here we present the cleaned up version of the temperature measurements from the 07 August to 07 September 2021.

These hourly values were corrected for magnetic declination, and then averaged to daily means for each depth bin. Only hourly values which showed ≥ 75 % good beam data were used, and daily values were only generated for days on which there were 75 % or more hourly readings.
