Abstract
As part of the global cruise of the Coast and Geodetic Survey ship Oceanographer, a brief investigation of the East Australian Current was conducted in September 1967 by personnel from the Pacific Oceanographic Research Laboratory and the Division of Fisheries and Oceanography. The results reported here are from oceanographic casts along 31° S. extending eastward 170 km from the Australian continental shelf. Closely spaced observations, made feasible by the satellite navigation system on board the ship, revealed some previously unknown details of the current.
