Noise factor removed from the each profile manually and further interpolation carried out to get final product. In general, sea surface temperature and sea surface salinity at 1 m depth decreasing southward with salinity fluctuation seen south of 46?S. Along Track-1 thermal structure of temperature and salinity showing sinking and rising of isotherms and isohalines, respectively making wave like pattern between 35?S -39?S, where ocean current are opposite. South of 39?S, isotherms are more inclined and water is mixing with different physical properties. The objective of the paper is to use the data collected along two meridional transects to investigate the circulation current system and geostrophic volume transport. The distribution of SST and SSS at 1 m depth from the XCTD profiles showing varying pattern. The SST remains constant up to 39?S and decreasing towards south from 21?C to 0?C. The distribution of SSS varies along ship track from 28.9 psu to 33.3 psu. From the Track-1 it was understood that warmer water moves southwards on top and colder water extend northward in the deeper depth.
