Summary. Various numerical procedures have been developed to study the electric currents which are produced by induction in the ocean. In nearly all these methods difficulties arise near the coastline where the electric field changes significantly over a small distance. In this paper a new one‐sided correction for the electric field near the edge of the ocean is obtained. The results contain a multiplicative constant which may be determined by a suitable matching technique at an oceanic point. The anomalous magnetic field due to this edge correction is also given.
