Abstract
An attempt is made to interpret observations of electrical potential differences across the Tasman Sea in terms of ocean currents. This voltage record (spanning 7 1 2 years ) is significantly correlated with the (monthly averaged) mean sea level at Sydney, but not with that at other locations. A numerical model of the Robinson type for the Tasman Sea region permits the determination of the cable voltage which results from a given oceanic current pattern. Most of the observed voltage variance is probably due to East Australian Current eddies close to Sydney.
