The BEST project was designed to investigate the transport of the Benguela Current and the ratio of the Agulhas Current and South Atlantic source water masses. Data was collected by Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Palisades, NY and submitted by Dr. Arnold L. Gordon to NODC. Very good description accompanies the data. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded NCEI Accession 9600066 was revised and a new version of the archival package was published.
