Long-term observations of hourly bottom temperatures at Ponta Zavora, Mozambique (September 2018 - July 2019)

Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 17m off Ponta Zavora, Mozambique (24.4821°S; 35.2391°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa, between 21 September 2018 and 28 July 2019. 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.
