TRANSCRIPT

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

regions http://www.opc.ncep.noaa.gov/Loops/pac500satf00/Pacific_500mb_Analysis_07_Day.shtml

Thickness (1000-500) 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.
