Coriolis force

Compute the geostrophic wind. Draw two arrows depicting the balance between the Coriolis force and pressure gradient force on the map in 2b.

Lab 8 – The Geostrophic Wind and ENSO All questions subsets are worth 5 points. 1.) Recall that the Coriolis force can be computed as where V is the wind speed (in ms-1),   is the earth’s angular rotation rate about its axis, and  is the latitude. On an isobaric map, the pressure gradient force […]
