Abstract
A treatment of stationary planetary flow patterns driven by source-sink distributions in a cylindrical tank (Stommel et al., 1958) is extended to predict flow patterns which might be expected under similar circumstances on a rotating sphere. Flow patterns are sketched for various source-sink distributions and meridional and zonal boundary conditions.
