Methods used by Warren and later modified by Niiller and Robinson have been used to investigate the Agulhas Current and other currents associated with it. The results show that with the assistance of a small bottom current of 4 cm/s in the same direction as the main current, the Agulhas Current can proceed round the Cape of Good Hope during three out of four seasons of the year. During the northern winter season, however, the Agulhas Current is so strong that the bottom current may not be able to be so effective and then the Current doubles back near the Agulhas Plateau to form an Agulhas Return Current. There is, however, all the year round an eastward current flowing south of the Agulhas Current but except during the northern winter season, this fed mainly from outside the Agulhas Current area. With a small bottom current of about 2 cms/ the current gets deflected round the Agulhas Plateau to give a meandering effect.
