✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The monthly wind stress fields over the oceans have been calculated from marine climatic data incorporating the effect of thermal stability. The resulting angular momentum balance due to frictional torques indicates that the drag coefficients used in the study are essentially correct. A half‐yearly oscillation of zonal wind stress in high temperate latitudes in the southern hemisphere is clearly evident. The curl of the wind stress computed from the wind stress data has been used as the driving for a numerical model of the transports of a homogeneous flat‐bottomed world ocean. The variations of the ocean transports obtained are comparable with the rather sparse data except in the case of the Circumpolar Current and the Gulf Stream.
