This cruise studied the flows at the meridional boundaries of the Southeastern Atlantic Basin: in the west the exchanges with the Argentine and Brazil Basins, and in the east the flows along the African continental slope. Hydrological and geochemical parameters of the WOCE hydrographic Programme (WHP) were measured at 242 surface to bottom stations along two lines, one at 9° W from the continental slope of the Ivory Coast to latitude 45S, the other from Cape Town to the location 40° S-10° E, then northward to the Ghanaian continental slope. | ||||||||
