Summary. The determination of induced magnetic fields of synoptic ocean movements is considered in the case of horizontal uniformity of the bottom conductivity. The problem of calculation of hydrodynamic parameters is solved by means of induced fields. These appear to depend closely on the appearance of barotropic or baroclinic parts in the synoptic ocean movement. The different properties of fields from parts of the above permit us to separate hydrodynamic parameters of complex ocean movements into barotropic and baroclinic parts by means of magnetic measurements.
