Factors contributing to evaporation over the North Atlantic.

Mean evaporation patterns are presented for cyclones and for anticyclones. From these patterns it is deduced that the rate of evaporation is higher under cyclonic circulation than under anticyclonic circulation. The seasonal variation in the rate of evaporation is analyzed. [.]
