Eddy transport of heat, both in the sensible and latent forms has been evaluated for three stations in India, namely, Allahabad (25° 25' N 81° 51 E), New Delhi (28° 39' N 77° 17' E) and Jodhpur (26° 18' N 73 ° l' E) which all lie near about 27° N. Across 27° N in India the mean seasonal and annual eddy transport of sensible heat is weak and directed mainly equatorwards but that of latent heat is more marked and directed polewards.
