An Ekman current meter is an instrument used to measure the velocity of ocean currents. It operates based on the principles of the Ekman layer, which is a thin layer of water in the ocean affected by wind and the Coriolis effect, leading to complex flow patterns. The Ekman current meter typically consists of a series of rotating blades or fins attached to a rotating shaft.
