AMT16
This was the fifth cruise in the series funded
by a NERC Consortium Grant. The cruise was on board the RRS
Discovery and sailed from Cape Town, South Africa to
Falmouth, UK from 19 May to 29 June 2005.
The cruise aimed to compare the northern and southern hemisphere
gyres following the 25 degree west meridian. The coastal
upwelling off south west Africa was investigated prior to steaming
into the mid-Atlantic to head north.
