| Abstract | Here we present processed downcast Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) continuous data collected between 13 November and 28 November 1995, during voyage 132 on the Africana, in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME) on the west coast of Southern Africa and the Agulhas Current Large Marine Ecosystem (ACLME) on the south 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. |
| Methods | Temperature was converted from the IPTS-68 scale to the ITS-90 scale, and salinity was computed from conductivity measurements on the 1978 Practical Salinity Scale according to UNESCO (1991) algorithms. UNESCO (1993) quality control procedures were applied to the data. Any additional calibrations or corrections have been specified in each data file, where applicable and available. |
