Sentences with phrase «horizontal pressure gradient»

You have still not explained, how you justify the assumption that atmosphere is isothermal horizontally, but allows for horizontal pressure gradients.

4 in the post) is that all potential energy released from condensation is locally converted into the power of the large - scale horizontal pressure gradient force u ∇ p.

You can get horizontal pressure gradients from uneven distributions of molecular nitrogen (N2) ice, and you can get horizontal temperature gradients from uneven heating from the sun.

The Coriolis force in balance with this horizontal pressure gradient force gives rise to a dynamically induced geostrophic current, which occurs throughout the upper layer of warm water.

The strength of this geostrophic current is determined by the horizontal pressure gradient through the slope in sea level.

This warm lens of water plays an important role, establishing a horizontal pressure gradient force in and below the wind - driven current.

The Ocean Basin Model encourages experiments with ocean surface circulation in a homogeneous, rectangular ocean basin, driven by surface winds, ocean bottom friction, horizontal pressure gradients and the Coriolis force.

Thus the saturated ascending flows are always non-vertical and have always a horizontal pressure gradient, but all your subsiding flows are without any horizontal pressure gradients.

«winds are driven by pressure gradients» (comment by Anastassia Makarieva 1 Feb, 12:29 am) or «kinetic energy generated by horizontal pressure gradients» (main post)-- I'm not so sure of that.

We consider an interesting finding in the ACP paper (besides the Hadley estimate) the expression showing how S and Sd are related via gamma to determine the horizontal pressure gradient (Eq.

In hydrostatic equilibrium this rate q defines the work per unit time of the horizontal pressure gradient, see Eq.

indicate that the vertical temperature and pressure gradients dominate the contribution of condensation to the horizontal pressure gradient.
