Purpose
Abstract The M32/6 was directed at measuring the fully developed Somali Current circulation along the sections already covered by M32/4. The eastern of the two meridional sections showed small exchange between the Somali Current regime and the interior Arabian South of Socotra confirming the conclusions that this exchange occurs dominantly north of about 12°N. 5225 km of multibeam echosounding data have been recorded further acquisition information were not provided.
