Abstract
Boundary layer techniques are applied to a class of wind-driven, linear circulation models in which a wide set of dynamic boundary conditions are allowed. The results show that i) the eastern solution always exists and its O(1) component coincides with that of Sverdrup; ii) only a well-defined subset of boundary conditions are consistent with solutions representing, at least qualitatively, a typical subtropical gyre and, finally, iii) it is possible to employ infinite choices of boundary conditions which correspond to the same boundary layer solution.
