Summary

This dataset has been extracted as part of an exercise to assemble "all" Cefas Temperature Data and publish it in a Data paper. It is one of 17 Cefas data sources assembled. Diurnal and seasonal changes in water temperature in South Wales estuaries and saltmarshes. Data were collected in 1995 and 1996 from three estuarine locations in South Wales during a study of the thermal experience and tolerance of estuarine animals. The data comprise hourly records of temperature in brackish water where the depth is <1 metre at low tide. Three point locations in the Loughor Estuary, Oxwich Bay (Nicholstan Pill) and Swansea Bay (Black Pill) in South Wales. Positions were Loughor (51° 37.82’ N, 04° 13.54’ W), Oxwich Bay (51° 34.18’N, 04° 08.68’W) and Swansea Bay (51° 35.92’ N, 03° 59.61’ W) (WGS84, Plate carrée).
