CURRENT MEASUREMENTS EMPLOYING THE RADIO DROGUE SYSTEM

Abstract

The following report describes the results obtained from three Radio Drogues placed about 140 miles South of the Bermuda Islands in June 1962. The current flow plotted was at a depth of 1000 meters. A total of 2,460 miles of track was realized by periodic location of each drogue by aircraft over a period of four months. The main circulation feature described is an eddy that covers approximately 60,000 square miles.
