โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
A pilot study of the horizontal eddy transport of angular momentum in the meridional direction, based on radio wind observations over the North American sector of the northern hemisphere, is presented. The results are in harmony with general frictional requirements except that the transports are rather large. The desirability of much more extensive compilations of data concerning the subject is indicated.
