Abstract
For the past five years the Buoy Group at Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution has included temperature as one of the variables recorded
in its current meters. These measurements began with the first successful
deployments of Vector Averaging Current Meters (VACMs) in 1971.
Circuitry designed for making highly accurate temperature measurements
has been included in all the Buoy Project's VACMs. During the past year
we have begun to add similar circuitry to the EG&G 850 current meters.
This report is intended to describe what we have learned about making
water temperature measurements with VACMs.
