Extractions from the SADCO database
Examples of what can be extracted from the SADCO database:
Salinity Sections
Port Edward
The shallow layer of higher salinity > 35.0 overlays a deep layer of water < 35.0.
The rise of the isohalines (equal salinity) between the coast and about 100-150 km offshore coincides with the presence of the Agulhas Current.
Port Elizabth
The rise of the isohalines (= position of the Agulhas Current ) is located between 50 and 150 km.
Cape Agulhas
The high-salinity water in the top right is related to the Agulhas Current Retroflection.
The rise of the isohalines (equal salinity) between the coast and about 100-150 km offshore coincides with the presence of the Agulhas Current.
A large part of the area between South Africa and Antarctica is characterised by water salinity between 34.6 and 34.8.
