Geostrophic Wind
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.
