Abstract

An attempt is made to determine the meridional eddy transport of angular momentum for the northern hemisphere in the vicinity of 30Β°N. latitude from upper‐wind observations for a period of six months. Two somewhat different methods of evaluation give essentially comparable results and indicate the presence of eddy transports which are ample to compensate for frictional losses of angular momentum farther north. No indications of the presence of a mean meridional circulation of the strength and character needed to produce a sensible northward transport of angular momentum are found.

In this paper we derive Lagrange's equations for a rigid body rotating about its centre of gravity. We base our calculations on the balance law of angular momentum and refrain from the use of the customary and deficient model in which a rigid body is regarded as a limiting case of a rigid system of
