This project is a cooperative effort to measure transport and water mass characteristics of the Benguela Current at 30|S in the eastern Atlantic. A section of Inverted Echo Sounders (IES) and current meters along 30|S will be complemented by three IES'S AT 39|S. CTD surveys will be carried out along and between the sections. Objectives are to monitor transport and source waters of the Benguela in relation to variability in the Agulhas Retroflection region. Data will be combined with similar data from the western side of the subtropical gyre, collected by German inestigators, in order to address the total meridional transport across 30|S. Although not part of the official US WOCE program, results will contribute to WOCE activity in the South Atlantic.

该项目是一项合作的努力，旨在衡量东大西洋30 |的Benguela电流的运输和水量特征。 沿30 | s的一部分倒置回声声音（IES）和沿30 |的电流仪表在39 | s处得到补充。 CTD调查将沿着各部分进行。 目的是监测孟加拉国的运输和源水，该水域与Agulhas翻新区域的变异性有关。 数据将与来自德国污染剂收集的亚热带Gyre西侧的类似数据结合在一起，以解决跨30 | s的整个子午运输。 尽管不是美国官方WOCE计划的一部分，但结果将有助于南大西洋的WOCE活动。
