Magnetic Fields Generated by Internal Ocean Seawater Motion
This thesis models induced magnetic fields from the motion of seawater in the Earth's magnetic field analytically and compares the results to arctic on-the-ice magnetic fluctuation measurements. The oceans have various types of internal motions, such as internal waves and turbulence. This motio...
