The dynamic method computes the geostrophic current between two hydrographic stations from the density measured at both, relative to a reference pressure level where the current is taken to be zero or known. The geopotential distance between two pressure surfaces, with the specific volume, is split into a standard part, the same at both stations, and the geopotential anomaly ; the current at the upper surface, at right angles to the line between stations and , a distance apart, is
