Abstract
On the Climax 2 expedition between Hawaii and Tahiti, satellite navigation fixes were used to estimate the set of the ship from its dead reckoning positions as an indication of surface currents. Comparisons were then made between these estimated currents and historical equatorial current measurement data. The satellite-derived currents were found to be particularly useful in pinpointing current-countercurrent regions and for observing zones of divergence and convergence.
