Long-term observations of hourly bottom temperatures at Moheli, Comoros (September 2004 - October 2007)

Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 21m off Moheli, Comoros (12.3916°S 43.7390°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa, between 05 September 2004 and 05 October 2007. 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.
