Long-term observations of hourly bottom temperatures at Arcadia Reef, Mozambique (April 2015 - June 2017)

Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 33m off Arcadia Reef, Mozambique (24.5657°S; 35.2817°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa, between 28 April 2015 and 02 June 2017. 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.
