A closed form expression is presented for the velocity of an ideal fluid in terms of the density field and its derivatives. The expression, which is simply derived from the β-spiral and thermal wind equations, can be seen to be a differential form of a method for determining the velocity on two separated density surfaces using the properties of constant potential vorticity and Bernoulli function contous on them and of their changes between them. The results may also be related to some general results of thermocline theory. The expression is also generalized to the case of a non-ideal fluid, in which case knowledge of the field of a conservative tracer is required. The usefulness of applying these expressions to realistic noisy oceanic data sets discussed and related to other techniques such as the β-spiral.
