Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
receiving electric field data regarding an electric field that is detected in an underwater environment by a plurality of electrodes mounted on a first structure;
generating corrected electric field data based on the electric field data and magnetic field data, the corrected electric field data compensating for electric potential values that are induced by motion of the first structure through the underwater environment;
receiving sensor data from at least one sensor mounted on the first structure, the sensor data relating to a sensed location of a second structure in the underwater environment;
determining location data including information regarding a location of the second structure relative to the first structure in the underwater environment based on the sensor data; and
determining one or more characteristics of the second structure based on the corrected electric field data and the location data.
