Vector averaging current meters have been modified to measure the temperature gradient in addition to
current and absolute temperature. The modified instrument measures the temperature difference between
sensors spaced vertically 1.74 m apart (or closer) using thermistors in a Wheatstone bridge circuit.
Calibrations provide corrections for drift and static offset resulting in temperature gradient measurements
accurate to about 0.5 m ~c;m. Originally developed to infer vertical velocities, the instrument has also
been successfully used to study mixed layer motions and thickness variations and to investigate temperature
fine structure.
