Zusammenfassung:As part of the international TOGA program, the ORSTOM Center in Noumea (New Caledonia) initiated in January 1984 a series of semi-annual cruises along the 165 degree E meridian from 20 degree S to 10 degree N, across the equatorial current system of the western Pacific. This paper presents an analysis of the first six hydrographic (0-1000 m) and current (0-600 m) sections.
