Fig. 64. Distribution of zonal wind stress with latitude. (Zonal wind stress 

 T^ in djTies/cm.^.) Note the longitudinal asymmetry over the North Atlantic. 

 In the region south of Greenland, where observations are scarce, the stress 

 averages have been corrected for this asymmetry. Dotted lines indicate curves 

 plotted from scanty data. From Munk (1950, fig. 9).
