Processed Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) casts collected during the 2013 Marion Relief Voyage on SA Agulhas Voyage 007

The South African component of the international South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation project (SAMOC-SA) aims to characterise the time-mean and time-varying components of the SAMOC in the South Atlantic Ocean and monitor the variability of the main Southern Ocean frontal systems associated with the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), south of Africa. The Crossroads monitoring line, directly under the altimetry track N198, is sampled annually during the Marion Relief voyages, using a combination of CTD stations and XBT casts, where the XBT casts are done, at set intervals, between CTD stations to complement the CTD data. Here we present 33 processed XBT casts collected along the Crossroads Transect, between 10 May 2013 and 15 May 2013, during the 2013 Marion Relief Voyage.
