A New Ocean Current Pathways Detecting System Using a Magnetic Sensor and GPS
Abstract
A new ocean pathways current detecting system has been designed and implemented using a Fluxgate Magnetometer technology with GPS data. The performance of the proposed detector is analyzed and compared to that of the conventional ADCP detector. Our design’s approach shows that the proposed system can achieve a significant performance and a low-cost detecting device compared with recent ADCP detector.
