| Objective | Measurement of the net heat flux over the entire width of the tropical Atlantic between Dakar and Natal: Estimation of the equatorial zonal slope, where transfers are mainly zonal, and direct measurement of currents in the surface layers (0- 500 m); Helps to know the equatorial surface circulation (relations between the different currents and counter-currents) and the thermal field of the oceanic warm sphere. |
