Objective The ALIZE 91 cruise is part of 'TOGA' (Tropical Ocean and Global Atmosphere), a World Climate Research Program action supported in France by the National climate dynamics study programme, whose main objective is to specify the interactive mechanisms between the ocean and the atmosphere which could be, inter alia, the reason for interannual variability in the tropical Pacific Ocean. The ALIZE 91 mission aimed to provide a ¿snapshot¿ vision of ocean conditions, both physical and chemical and biological, in the Pacific equatorial strip. It is also part of a spatially rather loose set of measurements at fixed points (moorings, tidal gauges), on repeated oceanographic legs (SURTROPAC, EPOCS, etc.) and from a drifting buoy array deployed since.
