ATEX denotes the Atlantic Trade Wind Experiment, also known as APEX(Der Atlantische Passat Experiment). The experiment took place in the Northeast Atlantic trades in February of 1969. The experimental setup was primarily constituted of three research vessels, the Discoverer, Meteor and Planet arranged to form a drifting equilateral triangle with sides of approximately 750 km; although a fourth ship, the Hydra, also participated in portions of the experiment. 2, record 1, English, - Atlantic%20Trade%20Wind%20Experiment
