Abstract
The characteristics of a two‐dimensional convection cell with an applied heat force are derived from the equations of motion, continuity, and the first law of thermodynamics. The solutions are compared with observations made over the water north of Puerto Rico. It is found theoretically that large, slow‐moving cells can always exist, and will persist for one to two hours.Keywords
