The ocean section along the 24.5°N has been one of the most frequently sampled of the world's oceans. It has been sampled in 1957, 1981, 1992 and 1998. Previous works showed a progressive warming and salt increase of the thermocline and intermediate waters from around 800 m to 3000 m. The maximum warming rate was 0.009°C/yr at 1100 m. The eastern part of this section was sampled in 2002. The warming of the main thermocline has continued at a higher rate (0.042°/yr at 400 m) in the last 10 years. Salinity has also increased along the thermocline conserving the 1992 $\theta$S relationship. From 100 to 1000 db, the warming is mainly due to downward displacement of the isopycnals, though some cooling along isopycnals is also observed in the upper 350 db.
