Rv. Dingle et G. Nelson, SEA-BOTTOM TEMPERATURE, SALINITY AND DISSOLVED-OXYGEN ON THE CONTINENTAL-MARGIN OFF SOUTH-WESTERN AFRICA, South African journal of marine sciences, 13, 1993, pp. 33-49
From a historical data base of temperature, salinity and dissolved oxy
gen for the Benguela shelf between Cape Agulhas and Cape Frio, average
bottom patterns for each of these parameters are presented along with
statistical justifications. Some physical interpretation is given for
various features and variances, involving the poleward undercurrent,
wind and upwelling, continental shelf waves and internal tides at the
shelf edge and, in the case of oxygen, sediment-exchange chemistry.
