Abstract Please note that this dataset has been superseded by 10.15493/DEA.MIMS.04042025, as the data has undergone re-processing based on an updated Standard Operating Procedure, with improved quality control protocols. This is raw Thermosalinograph (TSG) data from the South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation Basin-wide Array (SAMBA) Monitoring Line in the South-East Atlantic Ocean on Algoa Voyage 221, 30 November to 14 December, 2015. SAMBA forms part of the South African component of the International South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation project (SAMOC-SA), which 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.
Methods Raw data in their original format, as received from the instrument and unprocessed.
