M148 cruise (2018): Belem (BR) to Walvis Bay (NA)
Physical oceanography study in the tropical South Atlantic at 11°S and in the eastern boundary upwelling region off Angola was carried during the research cruise on R/V Meteor in May/June 2018.
The cruise combined the foci of the BMBF collaborative projects “Southwest African Coastal Upwelling System and Benguela Niños II (SACUS)” and “Regional Atlantic Circulation and Global Change (RACE II)”.

M159 cruise (2019): Recife (BR) to Mindelo (CV)
The aim of M159 was to investigate the variability of the western boundary current system off South America as well as to estimate the variability of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) at 11°S.

M189 cruise (2023): Walvis Bay (NA) to Walvis Bay (NA)
M189 objectives were to complete a physical-biogeochemical survey in the tropical Angolan and Benguela upwelling system with state of the art instruments to deciphering variability of the eastern boundary circulation and processes involved in upwelling of nutrient-rich thermocline waters.
