Raw temperature data for long-term observations of bottom temperatures at Nosy Ve (August 2003 - September 2004)

At selected sites around Southern Africa, Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperature in the nearshore environment, at depths ranging from 2m to 34m. Here we present raw temperatures from UTRs located at a depth of 18m off Nosy Ve (23.6552°S 43.5858°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa, between 13 August 2003 and 14 September 2004. Note that for some deployments, two UTRs were deployed to simultaneously record bottom temperatures, and that the data that falls outside of these dates are not from the deployment.
