Long-term observations of hourly currents along the SAMBA transect at SAMBA Mooring 10, September 2014 - December 2015

The South African component of the international South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation project (SAMOC-SA) aims to characterise the time-mean and time-varying components of the SAMOC in the South Atlantic Ocean and monitor the variability of the main Southern Ocean frontal systems associated with the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), south of Africa. Here we present processed magnitude and direction of hourly currents in the upper part of the water column (56.28 - 424.28m) from an ADCP located at a depth of 449m at Mooring 10 (34.5060°S; 14.9840°E) along the South Atlantic MOC Basin-scale Array (SAMBA) transect in the Cape Basin region of the South Atlantic Ocean, between 19 September 2014 and 03 December 2015.
