Abstract
The Aanderaa current meter is widely used with a variety of platforms in different oceanographic and limnologic environments. It was not intended to be used in regions where surface wave motions would influence the measurements. Several examples are described to show the effect of surface waves upon Aanderaa current measurements made near the surface and near the bottom in shallow-water environments.
