The aim of the RV SONNE cruise SO284 is to recover and service existing moorings in the central and western tropical Atlantic in order to enable the continuity of long-term observational programmes and avoid a loss of devices and data due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is based on a cruise proposal to investigate the western boundary current system off Brazil and has been expanded to include an at-mospheric component to investigate the intertropical convergence zone. The work is also part of the EU TRIATLAS programme "Tropical and South Atlantic climate-based marine ecosystem predictions for sustainable management".
