Long-term observations of hourly bottom temperatures at Kasa Reef Mombasa, Kenya (October 2011 - April 2012)

Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 18m off Kasa Reef Mombasa, Kenya (03.9812°S 39.7640°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa, between 31 October 2011 and 21 April 2012. At selected sites around Southern Africa, UTRs have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperature in the nearshore environment, at depths ranging from 2m to 34m. Note that for some deployments, two UTRs were deployed to simultaneously record bottom temperatures.
