Abstract
Data are presented from an experiment designed to explore the spatial and temporal structure of the Agulhas Current and
Retroflexion by direct means. Included are the current meter results from 10 moorings in the Retroflexion region, CTD stations
occupied on the deployment cruise in 1985, data from satellite tracked (ARGOS) freely during surface buoys and numerous images
of the sea surface temperature.
Description
Stored in the Archives of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is the floppy disk on which can be found the one-day average currents, the path of the Agulhas Current, CTD stations in "Live Atlas" format, SST frontal analyses (Chassignet and Olson, personal communcation) as well as
programs written in QuickBASIC which allow one to access and display these observations. The programs are stored in ASCII and
can be run under the Microsoft QuickBasic (Version 4.0 or higher). Instructions for running the programs can be found in a file
entitled "read.me" on the disk.
