Preliminary processed CTD continuous observations from the Algoa Voyage 244, November 2017

SeaBird CTD Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) instruments were used to measure pressure, temperature and conductivity through the water column. During some cruises additional instruments for oxygen, fluorescence, Photosynthetically Available Radiation (PAR), Surface PAR (SPAR), turbidity, beam attenuation, beam transmission measurements were connected to the CTD unit. Here we present preliminary processed downcast CTD continuous data collected between 22 November 2017 and 27 November 2017, during Voyage 244 on the Algoa, in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME) region on the west coast of South Africa. This data was collected as part of the Intergrated Ecosystem Programme: Southern Benguela (IEP:SB), which has been conducting multi-disciplinary long-term monitoring along the Kleinsee, Namaqualand, Elands/St Helena Bay and Scarborough transects off the west coast of South Africa since 2013.
