Current Meter Measurements, Tongue of the Ocean, March and April 1964

Abstract

The Naval Oceanographic Office measured current velocities in the Tongue of the Ocean (TOTO) during March and April 1964. Emphasis was placed on near-bottom current speeds. Geodyne Corporation current meters were immersed from 2 to 16 days in taut-wire array configurations. Data from 15 current meters, implanted within 3 meters of the ocean bottom, revealed near-bottom current speeds to be greater than generally were believed. Speeds as great as 0. 5 knot were recorded.
