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.
These data are made available with the express understanding that any such use
will properly acknowledge the originator(s) and publisher and cite the accession
numbers and/or associated Digital Object Identifiers. Anyone wishing to use these
data should properly cite and attribute the data providers listed as authors in
the metadata provided with each dataset. It is expected that all the conditions
of the data license will be strictly honoured. Use of any material herein should
