An intercomparison study of oceanic turbulent measurements was performed with Russian-made, electromagnetic probes capable of measuring three components of turbulent velocity and airfoil shear probes. These turbulence measurements were taken in the Baltic Sea with the probes mounted on a towbody and a dropped profiler. Data from strong, intermediate and weak turbulence regions were used in the intercomparison.
