Abstract
A review is given of the results obtained from upwards of 600 days of current measuring at the Seven Stones lightvessel during 1939–41. From the plotted observations, an attempt is made to deduce the association between the total daily water movement, irrespective of direction, the residual daily water movement or current, and the mean local residual wind.The average residual water movement over the whole period was 2½ m.p.d. towards east-south-east. Statements made by earlier authors regarding the water circulation in adjacent areas are examined, and reconciliations are suggested where they seem to conflict with this finding.An endeavour is made to correlate the wind and water movement mathematically.
