| Abstract | The Agulhas Eddy-Filament Interactions were conducted on the Africana Voyage 138 from 19 December to 24 December 1996. The objectives of the cruise were to characterise the Agulhas water observed off Cape Town in satellite imagery; to characterise the associated Agulhas Current leakage between the Agulhas intrusion and the shelf; to identify the cooler Agulhas Bank water associated with the intrusion, and to characterize their interaction; and to identify the plankton associated with the various components of the intrusion and shelf circulation. |
