| 11. | They follow the principle of geostrophic winds.
|
| 12. | The geostrophic reversed in April to a strong eastward jet spanning the whole equatorial Pacific.
|
| 13. | Dynamically these nearly geostrophic turbulent eddies are the oceanographic counterparts of the atmospheric synoptic scale.
|
| 14. | This is known as geostrophic flow.
|
| 15. | The effect of friction, between the air and the land, breaks the geostrophic balance.
|
| 16. | Isallobaric gradients are important components of the wind as they increase or decrease the geostrophic wind.
|
| 17. | Below the mixed layer the upper ocean is generally governed by the hydrostatic and geostrophic relationships.
|
| 18. | This is called geostrophic balance, and is equivalent to saying that the Rossby number is small.
|
| 19. | The geostrophic wind component is the result of the balance between Coriolis force and pressure gradient force.
|
| 20. | Geostrophic currents in the basin interior are estimated using temperature and salinity measurements from moorings and gliders.
