Резюме	Potential vorticity (PV) inversion is a diagnostic technique that reconstructs atmospheric wind and pressure fields from the spatial distribution of potential vorticity. This method assumes that, in a geostrophically balanced atmosphere, the PV field uniquely determines the balanced circulation around anomalies.	Geostrophic wind balance is a fundamental concept in meteorology that describes the balance between the pressure gradient force and the Coriolis force in large-scale atmospheric flow. When this balance is achieved, wind blows parallel to isobars without acceleration—a condition observed in the free atmosphere away from the equator and surface boundary layer.	The thermal wind relationship is a fundamental meteorological principle that links vertical wind shear to horizontal temperature gradients. It states that wind speed increases with height in the direction of warming—a direct consequence of hydrostatic and geostrophic balance combined with the ideal gas law.
