Short-term observations of currents and sub-surface temperatures on the continental shelf and slope off Port Edward, South Africa
Between 2005 and 2015, multiple short-term studies were conducted to determine the characteristics of moorings deployed in a region heavily influenced by the strong Agulhas Current, and to examine circulation patterns across the continental shelf and slope off Port Edward, along the east coast of South Africa.
Long-term observations of hourly currents measured by DVS at SAMBA Mooring 9 (October 2018 - October 2020)
Here we present processed magnitude and direction of hourly currents in the water column (1766 - 2862m) from Doppler Volume Sampler (DVS) instruments located at M9 (34.50295°S; 17.1242°E) along the South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) Basin-scale Array (SAMBA) transect in the Cape Basin region of the South Atlantic Ocean, between 15 October 2018 and 06 October 2020. The South African component of the international South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation project...
