Abstract	The Agulhas System Climate Array (ASCA) is a mooring array and is designed to provide long-term observations of the Agulhas Current's volume, heat and salt transport and its variability from mesoscale (eddies), through seasonal to interannual timescales. The ASCA shelf and tall moorings extend 200 km offshore along decending TOPEX/Jason satellite ground track # 96, through the core of the Agulhas Current, with CPIES measurements extending the array to 300km offshore of Port Elizabeth. The data collected during the ASCA project have been obtained from various oceanographic instrumentation. This data was collected during the ASCA cruise on the SA Agulhas II Voyage 037 between 01 and 16 July 2019.
