ResumoThe method of studying water movements by measuring the electrical potential produced by the transport of water through the Earth's magnetic field has been applied to flow through the Irish Sea. Continuous readings of these potentials were made between 1954 November and 1958 March on a submarine cable which lies on the sea bed of the North Channel between Portpatrick and Donaghadee. Similar measurements were made further south on a Nevin-Howth cable during the period 1956 December to 1958 March. To calibrate the cable signals, direct current measurements were made at different depths in a number of localities in the North Channel. No measurements were carried out to calibrate the Nevin-Howth cable, however, but an estimate was made from values given in Admiralty publications.
