Two series of current measurements made with GEK and drogues are shown to agree closely, not only in the averaged results of three days’ data, but in short‐period variations about the mean. The variations measured are probably too large to be the ordinary tide, and the possibility of their being the orbital velocities of internal waves is discussed.
