Raw temperature data for long-term observations of bottom temperatures at Mozambique Island, Mozambique (July 2003 - September 2004)

Here we present raw temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 18m off Mozambique Island, Mozambique (15.0645°S; 40.785°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa, between 23 July 2003 and 06 September 2004. Note that the data that falls outside of these dates is not from the deployment. 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.
