Abstract
In a previous paper under the same title, the author gave a method to compute the velocity of equatorial flow taking into account the Coriolis forces, pressure gradients, field accelerations and frictional forces proportional to the velocity components. In this paper the author suggests a method to extend the computation to higher latitudes. It is shown that the flow is very nearly geostrophic at latitudes a few degrees away from the Equator.
