N2 - Following the theory of Kusuda and Alpert (Part I), expressions for the eccentricity and tilt angle of the surface-wind hodograph at different latitudes are derived as functions of the amplitude and phase shift of the horizontal thermal force and also of some reasonable frictional parameter. Further, analyses of 47 hodographs in Washington, Oregon and California give the observed tilt angles, eccentricities and senses of rotation. -from Authors
