| Abstract | At selected sites around Southern Africa, Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperature in the nearshore environment, at depths ranging from 2m to 34m. Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from UTRs located at a depth of 18m off Nosy Ve (23.6552°S 43.5858°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa, between 13 August 2003 and 14 September 2004. Note that for some deployments, two UTRs were deployed to simultaneously record bottom temperatures. |
| Methods | A subsurface-mounted, Underwater Temperature Recorder (UTR) was deployed at a depth of 18m off Nosy Ve (23.6552°S 43.5858°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa. The instrument(s) measured hourly temperature(s) readings between 13 August 2003 08h00 and 14 September 2004 09h00. |
