Abstract

Difficulties of intrinsic and environmental origins are still being experienced in the use of ocean currentmeters. The recently developed laser-Doppler technique of flow measurement offers advantages over existing techniques and the application of the laser-Doppler technique to ocean flow measurements is proposed. In particular, a laser-Doppler system which has been used in the laboratory and which is suitable for ocean applications is described....
