Presentation transcript:

Where would you expect to observe geostrophic balance, gradient balance, supergeostropic and subgeostrophic winds? Show the balance of forces in these regions

Thickness ( ) 700hPa height/temperature/winds) Discuss the advection of temperature in the regions marked with a star. Plot the thermal wind, the temperature gradient (vectors). Assume that the 700hPa winds represent the mean wind between 1000 and 500 hPa.
