| Abstract | Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 33m off Arcadia Reef, Mozambique (24.5657°S; 35.2817°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa, between 22 September 2018 and 05 August 2019. 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. |
| Methods | Subsurface-mounted, Underwater Temperature Recorder(s) (UTR) were deployed at a depth of 33m off Arcadia Reef, Mozambique (24.5657°S; 35.2817°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa. The instrument(s) measured hourly temperature(s) readings between 22 September 2018 08h00 and 05 August 2019 06h00. |
