Use the outward orientation on the unit hemisphere and counterclockwise boundary orientation on the unit circle. With $\mathbf{r}(t)=(\cos t,\sin t,0)$ and $f=x=\cos t$, the vector line integral isFor the surface integral, $\nabla f=\mathbf{i}$ and the outward unit normal vector is $\mathbf{n}=(x,y,z)$, since the radius is one. The cross product isThe integral of $y$ is zero by reflection symmetry. Using the same spherical polar coordinates as in ii, with $a=1$, the other component isHenceverifying the vector-valued Stokes identity directly, component by component. The wedge symbol in the paper denotes the cross product here.
