ABSTRACT 



The Coast Guard Oceanographic Unit (CGOU) used taut-line instru- 

 mented arrays to investigate the current regime near tl^e Grand Banks of 

 Newfoundland. The instrumented arrays used were patterned after a design 

 developed and used by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. G. B. Shick's 

 Circular Arc Approximation was used to compute the tension in the mooring 

 line. The arrays were set and recovered by Coast Guard personnel under 

 the supervision of CGOU field parties.
