Raw temperature data for long-term observations of bottom temperatures at Xai-Xai, Mozambique (April 2006 - July 2007)

Here we present raw temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 18m off Xai-Xai, Mozambique (25.1646°S 33.6781°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa, between 23 April 2006 and 10 July 2007. 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.
