Abstract Neil Brown MK3 and MK4 Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) instruments were used to measure pressure, temperature and conductivity through the water column during research and monitoring cruises between 1983 and 2000. Here we present raw CTD continuous data collected, between 13 and 24 August 1983, during Voyage 011 on the Africana, in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME) region on the west coast of South Africa.
