Long-term observations of hourly bottom temperatures at Nosy Ve (September 2004 - September 2007)

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 processed hourly subsurface 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 14 September 2004 and 14 September 2007. Note that for some deployments, two UTRs were deployed to simultaneously record bottom temperatures.
