Western Indian Ocean and Agulhas Current Related Activities

The Node is linked in with a number of national, regional and international projects working towards better monitoring of the SW Indian Ocean. The Node’s key role in such projects includes representing South Africa, providing a platform for international scientists and forging relationships between key role players. One of the key projects – the Agulhas Current Transport project run by Dr Lisa Beal, will monitor the Agulhas Current for a period of 3 years and relate this to satellite observations. Although not directly involved, the Node has been assisting with the facilitation of this project and will hopefully remain involved in the many projects which are being initiated through this work.
