The ASCA April 2016 processed Current Meter data collected at Mooring D for all depths

The Agulhas System Climate Array (ACSA) is a mooring array and is designed to provide long-term observations of the Agulhas Current`s volume, heat and salt transport and its variability from mesoscale (eddies), through seasonal to interannual timescales. The ASCA shelf and tall moorings extend 200 km offshore along decending TOPEX/Jason satellite ground track # 96, through the core of the Agulhas Current, with CPIES measurements extending the array to 300 km offshore of Port Elizabeth. The data collected during this project have been obtained from various oceanographic instrumentation fixed to each mooring. This is the processed product from data collected by a Current Meters at Mooring D deployed at the following depths: 1000m, 1500m, 2000m, 2500m and 3000m.

阿古拉斯系统气候阵列（Agulhas System Climate Array, ACSA）是一套锚系观测阵列，旨在长期监测阿古拉斯海流的体积、热量与盐度输送及其变化特征，观测尺度覆盖中尺度（涡旋）、季节至年际的全时间范围。该ACSA阵列的陆架锚系与深水锚系沿TOPEX/Jason卫星地面轨迹#96向海外延伸200公里，穿过阿古拉斯海流核心区域；CPIES测量数据则将该阵列的观测范围拓展至伊丽莎白港外海300公里处。本项目采集的数据均来自固定于各锚系的多类海洋观测仪器，本次提供的为部署于锚系D、布放深度分别为1000米、1500米、2000米、2500米及3000米处的海流计所采集数据的处理后产品。
