Harmonic analyses of the mean northern‐hemisphere wind field for the year 1950 along latitudes 30°, 45° and 60° are presented. The seasonal variations of these spectra are investigated and the relative contributions of the various scales of mean eddies to the meridional transport of angular momentum are calculated.
