Not all values of V are solutions to the gradient wind balance. Here, we list out what situations are theoretical possible. A graphical representation of what we explored in the previous Remember the good ol' quadratic equation? A look at what our Cartesian wind vector (in terms of u, v, and w) looks like in natural coordinates. A first look at the second apparent force that arises from a rotating (non-inertial) reference frame. Also, here's a nice little animation ... A look at some of the physical consequences behind the centripetal and centrifugal forces.
What the acceleration vector looks like in natural coordinates. A look at some of the physical consequences behind the Hypsometric Equation. A look at surface cold fronts. Cold fronts that occur above ground level (often referred to as a Cold Front Aloft or CFA) can rapidly ... A closer look at turbulence, including some of the mathematics behind turbulence. A first look at the gradient wind balance, where we start to account for centrifugal force. A look at a (relatively) simple parameter which can tell us something about the scale of a particular atmospheric phenomenon.
