Abstract
Temperature sections across the Agulhas Current between 28°30’s and 34°S are analysed to determine the course of the Current down the East Coast of southern Africa. The results show that, on average, the Agulhas follows the continental slope with a side-ways meandering displacement of 10-15 km on either side.Keywords
