Two cross-equatorial sections of current, temperature and salinity were made in the Atlantic during July, 1983. The first, along 24¿W, extended from 10¿N to 10¿S and the second, along 28¿W, from 3¿S to 10¿N. Measurements extended from the surface to 300 m in the case of currents and to 800 m for temperature and salinity. On the large scale, these measurements agree well with historical data. On a smaller scale, the closely spaced stations across the equator reveal a complex structure in the equatorial currents.
