The Geomagnetic Electrokinetograph is an instrument of great simplicity which is capable of measuring the motions of sea water from a moving vessel. The motions of the sea may result from any cause, wind drift, waves, currents, and their eddies, tides, seiches, tsunamis or artifacts and still be sui...
