Abstract Here we present a collection of raw and processed temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located off Trou-aux-Biches, Mauritius. 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, UTR was deployed off Trou-aux-Biches, Mauritius (20.0284°S; 57.5364°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa. The instrument(s) measured hourly temperature(s) readings.
