Processed CTD discrete observations from the West Coast Hake Biomass Survey on the Africana Voyage 100, February 1992
Here we present processed Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) discrete data from the upcast collected between 06 February and 03 March 1992, during voyage 100 on the FRS Africana, in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME) region on the west coast of Southern Africa. Neil Brown MK3 and MK4 CTD instruments were used to measure pressure, temperature and conductivity through the water column during research and monitoring cruises between 1983 and 2000.
Raw Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) casts collected during the 2019 Marion Relief Voyage on SA Agulhas Voyage 036
The South African component of the international South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation project (SAMOC-SA) aims to characterise the time-mean and time-varying components of the SAMOC in the South Atlantic Ocean and monitor the variability of the main Southern Ocean frontal systems associated with the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), south of Africa. The Crossroads monitoring line, directly under the altimetry track N198, is sampled annually during the Marion Relief voyages,...
Processed underway Thermosalinograph (TSG) observations from the SA Agulhas II Voyage 042, April 2020
A SeaBird SBE45 Thermosalinograph (TSG) is used to opportunistically collect underway near-surface temperature and conductivity measurements during research and monitoring cruises. Water is continuously pumped to the TSG from an intake located in the hull of the vessel, and the observations are continuously interfaced with navigational information. A temperature sensor close to the intake provides temperature measurements of the incoming water (T1). The temperature of the water inside the...

Cape Canyon Suspended Particulate Matter CTD water sample
The Cape Canyon, situated on the western continental shelf of South Africa, stands as the country's largest bathymetric feature. Despite its prominence, understanding of the food web dynamics within the system and the significance of the benthic community for higher trophic levels remains incomplete. In response to this knowledge gap, the DFFE: Oceans and Coasts launched a multidisciplinary expedition aboard the RV Algoa. The expedition aimed to characterise the physical environment and...
Coastal Current Meter Programme on the Africana Voyage 017, March 1984
The objectives of this cruise were to retrieve ten moorings, eight on the shelf and two on the shelf break between Cape Columbine and Port Nolloth; to deploy three moorings in the coastal zone between Cape Columbine and Cape Town; to obtain Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) profiles and water samples on a transect bearing 270° from Cape Columbine; to profile currents, make repeated CTD casts and record atmospheric conditions in St Helena Bay as part of a vertical mixing study,...

Short-term observations of hourly currents on the continental shelf in the vicinity of Algoa Bay, along the southeast coast of South Africa at location ABay02 (06 December 2013 - 07 December 2014)
Between 2005 and 2014, multiple short-term studies were conducted to determine the circulation patterns across the continental shelf in the vicinity of Algoa Bay, along the southeast coast of South Africa. One mooring (CR01) was deployed off Cape Recife at a depth of 65m, between June 2013 and December 2014. A set of four moorings (ABay01; ABay02; ABay03 and ABay04) were deployed between the mouth of Algoa Bay and the edge of the continental slope, at depths of 75m, 115m, 120m and 160m,...
