Atlantic Meridional Transect

The Atlantic Meridional Transect (abbreviated as AMT) is a multi-decadal oceanographic programme that undertakes biological, chemical and physical research during annual voyages between the UK and destinations in the South Atlantic. The ongoing AMT programme was begun in 1995 to assess biological processes in the Atlantic Ocean from the mesoscale through to basin-scale. An early activity of the programme was the calibration of measurements and products produced by the SeaWiFS (1997-2010) satellite-based sensor for ocean chlorophyll.
