摘要：A bird’s eye view of the ocean environment surrounding South Africa presents, to any oceanographer, ahighly enviable snapshot of one of the most energetic ocean current systems in the world – the GreaterAgulhas Current System (Figure 1). 1 Lying as close as 20 km to the South African east coast, the GreaterAgulhas Current System consists of three main components: the Agulhas Current, the Agulhas ReturnCurrent, and the Agulhas Leakage that forms a conduit for inter-ocean exchanges of heat and freshwater between the Indian, Atlantic and Southern Oceans. Recently, this region has become the focus ofa number of international research programmes.
