Electric Field Floats in the North Atlantic Current: Validation and Observations

Electric field floats were designed and built to measure depth-averaged velocity. They were made from commercial RAFOS floats modified to make horizontal electric field measurements through the addition of two pairs of electrodes, electrode arms, rotation vanes, a compass, amplifiers, and a micropro...
