Abstract

Supplementing and extending the hydrographical results discussed by Jones (1971, Part I of this work), the bathythermograph-based results of an eastern South Atlantic cruise by H.M. Survey Ship Hecla are presented. Several detailed latitudinal temperature sections cast new light on shelf edge divergence phenomena, while north of the Orange River an opportunity arose to study the effects of a violent southerly gale to an extent not hitherto documented. In conclusion an attempt is made to idealize and define the major structural elements of the region and to clarify the development and character of an active ‘centre of upwelling’.
