Description Longterm current measurements for a period of 14 months were taken up by National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, India at high current regime in Gulf of Khambhat. The measurement was intended at seabed for obtaining vector averaged current speed and direction on the sea surface and at a fixed five layers. The company supplied frame was not suitable to use at the proposed measurement location, owing to random oscillation in the seabed, strong currents and high concentration of sediments in the water column. The authors have designed a special frame to withstand for above problems and the measurements were carried out successfully for such harsh environment, first time in India. The details of the design and the measurement techniques are described in the paper.
