| Abstract: | A technique for studying near-shore currents is assessed that is alternative to the traditional methods. The technique is based on the measurements of anomalous electromagnetic fields induced on land in the near-shore zone. The method of coastal electromagnetic monitoring was tested in the central part of the Zimnii Coast of the Gorlo of the White Sea. The results of numerical modeling of electric fields induced by tidal currents allowed us to obtain theoretical estimates of the expected signal and to choose the site of the measurements and the optimal parameters of the receiving lines applied. The experimental studies were performed on the Zimnii Coast of the Gorlo of the White Sea using two horizontal receiving lines, one of which was located on the coast and the other ran in the sea. These studies provided experimental estimates of the electric field of the tides in the Gorlo of the White Sea, which agreed with the theoretical evaluations. The results of the studies proved the efficiency of the method of coastal electromagnetic monitoring, which may be used in order to study tidal, offset-onset (surge), and quasi-stationary currents. An important advantage of the electromagnetic methods lies in the possibility to perform the studies throughout the year, including the winter period. |
