Breaking waves generate meandering currents and winds in the oceanic and atmospheric boundary layers. The length scales and frequencies of the meandering currents and winds are respectively longer and higher than those of the underlying ocean waves. The difference in spatial and temporal scales makes it possible to indirectly measure the meandering current in the oceanic boundary layer using the principles of magnetic induction that would otherwise be difficult using more direct methods. Such measurements are desirable to quantify mixing in the oceanic and atmospheric boundary layers due to meandering flows.
