Abstract | Here we present a collection of raw and processed temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located off Moheli, Comoros. 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 Moheli, Comoros (12.3916°S; 43.7390°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa. The instrument(s) measured hourly temperature(s) readings. |
