Towed electrodes in the sea : theory and use

The sea as a dynamic conducting medium interacts continually
with the earth' s magnetic field. The physical principles underlying
this interaction are reviewed. These results are applied to the
particular problem of towed electrodes at the sea surface. Data
using this method are then shown to be sensitive to stability oscillations
especially in lower latitudes. Finally, some features of the
water velocity around the Panama Basin are investigated from towed
electrode measurements. / Graduation date: 1970
