Abstract
A description is given of the techniques at present in general use for the measurement of currents with particular emphasis on methods used in water depths greater than 200 m. The general characteristics of current motions both in the deep ocean and in continental shelf seas are described and are categorized in terms of their energetics, periodicities and vertical and horizontal length scales.Keywords
