| 1. | In the free atmosphere, geostrophic wind relationships should be used.
|
| 2. | In other words, no vertical wind shear of the geostrophic wind.
|
| 3. | Unlike geostrophic currents, and geostrophic winds are examples of inertial waves.
|
| 4. | They follow the principle of geostrophic winds.
|
| 5. | Isallobaric gradients are important components of the wind as they increase or decrease the geostrophic wind.
|
| 6. | The geostrophic wind component is the result of the balance between Coriolis force and pressure gradient force.
|
| 7. | Look at geostrophic wind article in wikipedia and you will be able to solve this problem without difficulty.
|
| 8. | The gradient wind is similar to the geostrophic wind but also includes centrifugal force ( or centripetal acceleration ).
|
| 9. | To maintain balance, the geostrophic wind aloft and below adjust, such that regions of divergence / convergence form.
|
| 10. | Such isobaric surfaces will also be isothermal surfaces, hence ( from the thermal wind equation ) the geostrophic wind will not vary with depth.
