Long-term observations of hourly bottom temperatures at Grande Comore, Comoros (August 2003 - August 2004)

Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 20m off Grande Comore, Comoros (11.6675°S 43.2635°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa, between 02 August 2003 and 31 August 2004. 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.
