pressure gradient force in a sentence
Examples
- :The geostrophic equilibrium is a quasi-equilibrium between the pressure gradient force ( PGF ) and the coriolis force ( CF ).
- A convective downdraft is linked to three forces in the vertical, namely perturbation pressure gradient force, buoyancy force and precipitation loading.
- The pressure gradient force is represented by blue arrows, the Coriolis acceleration ( always perpendicular to the velocity ) by red arrows
- The first term on the right hand side of the above equation represents electromagnetic forces and the second term represents pressure gradient forces.
- Pressure Gradient Force : " The pressure-gradient force is the force which results when there is a difference in pressure across a surface.
- The "'Ekman layer "'is the layer in a fluid where there is a force balance between pressure gradient force, Coriolis force and turbulent drag.
- Beyond the tropics, the dominant forces act in the horizontal direction, and the primary struggle is between the Coriolis force and the pressure gradient force.
- Note that the pressure gradient force points from high towards low pressure zones, it is thus oriented in the opposite direction from the pressure gradient itself.
- As a result, the pressure gradient force has a greater effect and the air still moves from high pressure to low pressure, though with great deflection.
- Movement is driven by the pressure gradient force ( horizontal differences in atmospheric pressure ) and the Coriolis force ( caused by the Earth's rotation on its axis ).
