| Popis: | In the first known attempt to record the vertical electric field from a moored instrument in the deep ocean a continuous measurement of 2.58-day duration was made in 3000 m of water 35 km southwest of the Island of Oahu, Hawaii. Recordings were made between each of two vertically suspended electrodes and a common electrode near the sea floor. These two recordings, interpreted in terms of geomagnetic east-west water motions through the geomagnetic field, give a semidiurnal tidal component of 6.5 cm/s and continuous spectra above the background noise that are coherent and in phase out to 1 cph. |
