## Abstract The theory and an example is given of a method of representing a nonβcircular wind distribution in which correlation exists between the departures from the means of the computed components. For it to be accurate the distribution of the components must be normal.
The radon deficit method of measuring gas transfer from the sea has so far failed to give reliable information on the dependence of transfer velocity on wind speed owing to the 5.5 day mean lifetime of the radon nuclide. Calculations with a simple model illustrate how the normal variations in wind s
