Magnetic Variations Caused by Wind Waves.

Abstract

Due to the high sensitivity of the newer magnetometers, magnetic variations induced by sea waves have become important. Statistical properties of the magnetic variations induced by an arbitrary directional spectrum of wind waves are investigated. Detailed numerical results for the case of the fully developed Neumann directional spectrum are presented in order to convey some idea of the magnitude and nature of magnetic variations in different geographic locations under various wind conditions.
