| Abstract: | The paper addresses the theoretical problem of electromagnetic fields induced by surface and internal waves in a fluid with
continuously stratified electrical conductivity and density. Calculations of the electromagnetic fields induced by the wave
motion in the tropical Atlantic have been performed considering the exponentially changing electrical conductivity in the
vertical. The consideration of the electrical conductivity stratification is shown to be capable of modifying electromagnetic
fields in the individual fluid layers by about 50%, and the role of this stratification is shown to increase with the growth
of the wave period.
