Raw CTD continuous observations from the Coastal Current Meter Programme on the Africana Voyage 017, March 1984

This is raw Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) continous data from the Coastal Current Meter Programme on the Africana Voyage 017 collected between 19 and 27 March 1984. The cruise operated in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME) region on the west coast of South Africa. 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...

Long-term observations of hourly bottom temperatures at Zambia Reef, Mozambique (May 2011 - February 2012)

Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 18m off Zambia Reef, Mozambique (22.7713°S; 35.584°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa, between 17 May 2011 and 01 February 2012. At selected sites around Southern Africa, UTRs have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperatures in the nearshore environment, at depths ranging from 2m to 34m. Note that for some deployments, two UTRs were deployed to...

Processed imagery data collected off the western margin's deep-sea environment on Algoa Voyage 246, February 2018

The aim of the Integrated Ecosystem Program (IEP) Benthic Project is to establish a baseline for epi-benthic invertebrate distribution, in order to identify benthic indicators for long-term monitoring within the pre-determined IEP monitoring lines. Ten stations were successfully surveyed, on board the R/V Algoa in February 2018, using a towed under-water benthic camera. The acquired abundance data represents five stations from the Kleinsee transect, four from Namaqua and one from St Helena Bay.
