Long-term observations of hourly bottom temperatures at Xai-Xai, Mozambique (July 2007 - March 2013)

Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 18m off Xai-Xai (25.1646°S 33.6781°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa, between 10 July 2007 and 17 March 2013. 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. Note that for some deployments, two UTRs were deployed to simultaneously record bottom temperatures.
