Abstract
Most models of the single-gyre, wind-driven oceanic circulation resort to wind stress fields that are strictly antisymmetric under a parity transformation with respect to a mid basin latitude. We show that, within the ambit of the weakly nonlinear quasi-geostrophic dynamics with a given frictional parametrization, this property of the wind stress implies a corresponding definite behaviour, under the same transform, of all the correction streamfunctions that constitute the perturbative expansion of the solution in the western boundary layer. The result generalizes what can be observed in some truncated expansions found in the literature and in the presence of an explicitly defined wind stress field.
