Geostrophic flow may be either barotropic or baroclinic.
2.
This Ekman transport is superimposed on geostrophic flow associated with horizontal gradients of density.
3.
This is known as geostrophic flow.
4.
This concept is familiar from weather maps, whose isobars show the direction of geostrophic flow in the atmosphere.
5.
Generally, Rossby number ratio of inertial to coriolis terms is used to formulate a condition of geostrophic flow.
6.
The direction of geostrophic flow is parallel to the isobars, with the high pressure to the right of the flow in the Northern Hemisphere, and the high pressure to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
7.
Because the Coriolis effects are neglected, antitriptic flow occurs either near the equator ( irrespective of the motion's lengthscale ) or elsewhere whenever the Ekman number of the flow is large ( normally for small-scale processes ), as opposed to geostrophic flows.
8.
Relaxation of trade winds in the eastern coincided with the eastward propagation of the geostrophic flow east of 240�E ( particularly in February ), while westward currents dominated in the central and western equatorial region, which then reversal in the east, with weak local trade winds and weak upwelling along the coast, coincided with the onset of warm SST anomaly . ( This anomaly first appeared off South America in March and April ).
9.
Where \ \ tau ^ x and \ \ tau ^ y are the components of the surface stress, \ \ tau, of the wind field or ice layer at the top of the ocean and \ u _ g and \ v _ g are the geostrophic flows in the \ x and \ y directions as \ z \ to \ infty : u \ to u _ g, v \ to v _ g.
