Processed CTD discrete observations from the Physical-Chemical Oceanography Cruise on the Africana Voyage 077, September 1989

Here we present processed Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) discrete data from the upcast collected between 11 September and 22 September 1989 during Voyage 077 on the FRS Africana, in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME) region on the west 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. There were several objectives for the Physical-Chemical Oceanography Cruise, covering Physical Environment (PE), Sedimentation and Nutrient cycling (SN), Chemical Environment (CE), Shoal Ecology (SE), Plankton studies (P) and testing of the new AIDA acoustic system with possible estimates of biomass in specific places such as in the baroclinic jets. The objectives included identifying and documenting near-surface and mid-water baroclinic jets west of Cape Columbine and Cape Town using acoustic doppler profiling and...

The Physical-Chemical Oceanography Cruise was divided into two legs with the first leg focusing on physical oceanography and the latter on chemical oceanography. The purpose of the first leg of the cruise was primarily to moor current meters and water-level recorders at various sites, mostly north of the Orange River, and to obtain a precise set of Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data on a line running normal to the topography from a point in 4200m of water into Conception Bay. The CTD data will be used to calculate water...
