A first look at the natural coordinate system, which can simplify our conceptual model of the atmosphere. A look at what our Cartesian wind vector (in terms of u, v, and w) looks like in natural coordinates. What the acceleration vector looks like in natural coordinates. How does the atmosphere attempt to resolve radiative balances? One key mechanism is to create cyclones. An exercise to check your understanding of the previous A look at some force balances in natural coordinates.
What the pressure gradient force looks like in natural coordinates. Remember the good ol' quadratic equation? What Newton's second law looks like in natural coordinates. As important as fronts are in the atmosphere, there is no universally agreed upon definition of a front. Though, most people ... An overview of how weather phenomena are categorized based on size and duration. A first look at two different approaches to analyzing atmospheric flow patterns.
A look at the coordinate system most frequently used in meteorology. If the Earth really was flat, that would make the math a lot ...
