The greater Agulhas Current is one of the most energetic current systems in the global ocean. It plays a fundamental role in determining the mean state and variability of the regional marine environment, affecting its resources and ecosystem, the regional weather and the global climate on a broad range of temporal and spatial scales. In the absence of a coherent in-situ and satellite-based observing system in region, modelling and data assimilation techniques play a crucial role in both furthering and quantitative understanding and proving better forecasts of this complicated western boundary current system.
