Raw temperature data for long-term observations of bottom temperatures at Zambia Reef, Mozambique (May 2011 - February 2012)

Here we present raw temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 18m off Zambia Reef, Mozambique (22.7713°S; 35.584°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa, between 17 May 2011 and 01 February 2012. 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.
