| In, 1984, the SURTROPAC group from the ORSTOM Center in Noumea has undertaken a series of trans-equatorial biannual cruises, along the 165°E meridian, from 20°S-10°N. These cruises are now part of the international TOGA program, and are scheduled until 1994. Half-way of this series, this report presents sections of temperature (T), salinity (S), potential density, zonal geostrophic currents (Ug), and zonal (u) and meridional (v) components of measured currents, for each of the 10 cruises already carried out. Some indications on data processing and contouring algorithms are given before. Two different types of hydrology probes and current profilers were used for measurements : for cruises § 1-5, a Bisset-Berman model 9040 STD probe, and a more accurate... |
