| Objective | The MOPRE cruises were aimed at studying the variability of the surface wind field and the dynamic and hydrological structures of the surface and subsurface layers at the 0 degree-4 degree West point. This study was part of a more general scientific context aimed at understanding the physical mechanisms related to equatorial upwelling. |
