	5. HYDROGRAPHY
		The Mozambique Current is usually considered as a part of the anticyclonic subtropical gyre consisting of the South Equatorial Current, the Agulhas Current system and the eastward flow situated to the north of the subtropical convergence (WYRTKI, 1973).
		HARRIS (1972), however, observed that a fraction of the Mozambique Current passed through the southern part of the channel as one of the tributories to the Agulhas Current.
		His conclusion was that during this season only part of the surface flow of the Mozambique Current runs through the Mozambique Channel, with a large volume recurving at the southern mouth to flow northward in the middle of the Channel.

		We summarize previous estimates of volume transport and water property distributions through the Mozambique Channel and offer additional estimates and measurements based on recently acquired hydrographic and float data.
		Waters of the Mozambique Channel are characterized by shallow and intermediate oxygen minima separated by a relative maximum.
		Balancing transport below 2500 m (the sill depth in the Channel), we estimate the net southward transports above this depth to be 29.1 and 5.9 Sv for the northern and southern sections, respectively - the difference is presumably related to seasonality and eddy variability superimposed on the mean flow.
