The magnitudes of r-[_, s, A, D correspond roughly to the 

 Atlantic Ocean parameters. The value of p is chosen so as to 

 give the best approximation to the Coriolis parameter in the 

 latitude of Cape Hatteras. The equality n = 2tc/ s corresponds 

 roughly to the east-west components of the trades and the west- 

 erlies. The value of oj corresponds to yearly frequency of the 

 wind variation and W =0,65 gm cm sec"^ is the value used by 

 Munk [5] for the wind stress. 



Then the dimensionless constants have the values

r = 1.3 

 Also r' has been chosen so that 



a = 0. 2. 



The results for this numerical example are shown in 

 Figs. 2-6. 



In Fig. 2 the non-dimensional, north-south component, V, 

 of the mass transport is plotted against x' near x' = for the 

 value y' = 0,25. The region of large V corresponds to the Gulf 



* Corresponding to an annual period for the wind fluctuation.
