Abstract Here we present a collection of raw and processed temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located off Mozambique Island, Mozambique. 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.
Methods Subsurface-mounted, Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTR) were deployed off Mozambique Island, Mozambique (15.0645°S; 40.785°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa. The instruments measured hourly temperature readings.
