APPENDIX II 



Standard Errors of the Means 



The following tables list the computed standard errors 

 of the monthly means by 1-degree square area for the 

 eastward and northward components of the resultant 

 surface wind stress. The standard errors of the means are 

 defined by Equation (3). Each page contains values for 

 30 1-degree squares blocked in groups of 10. Within each 

 group of 10, all 1-degree squares are defined by a com- 

 mon latitude. The first set of values corresponds to the 1- 

 degree square immediately adjacent to the coast. The 

 final tabulations refer to the 1-degree square farthest 

 from the coast. 



The standard error of the mean is tabulated for each 

 month and square. The latitude and longitude of the cen- 

 ter of the 1-degree square is listed at the left. The first 

 two numbers below each month are the standard errors of 

 the means for the eastward and northward components, 

 respectively. The units are dyne cm - ". The last value is 

 the number of observations.
