In contrast, the float in the Benguela basin showed important changes of temperature as the float was entrained in the circulation between cyclones and anticyclones.

- The floats deployed at the Atlantic equator and showed weak horizontal and temporal gradients in temperature. In the Angola 1
- The three main plankton categories were Trichodesmium Copepoda 1
- - Strong peaks of Trichodesmium at the Equator and in the Angola Basin 1
- Time series in the 500-1000m layer showed less distinct patterns in the three basins and lower concentrations than in the upper layer. 1
- Time series of Marine Snow showed distinct patterns in the three basins - Higher concentrations and strong peaks of all morphotypes of marine snow in the Angola 1
- Equator or Benguela basin at surface and in the mesopelagic 1
- - Higher concentrations of all types of marine snow in the equatorial mesopelagic relative to the other sites. 1
- - Mesopelagic peaks of marine snow reflected surface intermittent production events. 1
- - Among marine snow Elongated Spheres and Flakes were dominant in the epipelagic layers respectively in the Benguela Angola and Equator 1
- - Plankton contribution to total count was low in the mesopelagic apart in the Benguela basin where mesoscale eddies impacted the biological variability. 1
- Equator Angola Benguela 1
