Abstract Here we present a collection of raw and processed temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located off Nosy Ve, Madagascar. 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 A subsurface-mounted, Underwater Temperature Recorder (UTR) was deployed off Nosy Ve (23.6552°S 43.5858°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa. The instrument(s) measured hourly temperature(s) readings.
