wind stress, and by the meteorologist to com- 

 pute the wind divergence. A few buoys placed 

 along the Equator and to the north — just a suf- 

 ficient number to monitor the location of the 

 intertropical convergence--would satisfy this 

 need. In addition, the number of observations 

 can be increased by an effort to enlist in the 

 synoptic weather observations program the 

 cooperation of all ships that travel through the 

 areas where weather observations are insuffi- 

 cient.
