What is thermal wind and why does it exist? A first look at two different approaches to analyzing atmospheric flow patterns. A look at how thermal wind can sometimes (not always) tell us something about temperature advection at some level in the ... Outflow boundaries are mesoscale currents of cold moist air produced by thunderstorms. These can have a profound influence on ... A look at what our Cartesian wind vector (in terms of u, v, and w) looks like in natural coordinates. A look at some of the physical consequences behind the Hypsometric Equation.
Not all values of V are solutions to the gradient wind balance. Here, we list out what situations are theoretical possible. A look at a (relatively) simple parameter which can tell us something about the scale of a particular atmospheric phenomenon. A first look at the horizontal structure of a typical mid-latitude cyclone. A first look at the gradient wind balance, where we start to account for centrifugal force. Will the wind flow over the obstacle or around it? The Froude Number can help us answer this question. Also, we look at some ... A first look at the second apparent force that arises from a rotating (non-inertial) reference frame. Also, here's a nice little animation ...
