A graphical representation of what we explored in the previous Remember the good ol' quadratic equation? What the acceleration vector looks like in natural coordinates. Not all values of V are solutions to the gradient wind balance. Here, we list out what situations are theoretical possible. A first look at the vertical structure of a typical mid-latitude cyclone. A first look at friction and how it affects atmospheric flow.
