Quasi-Geostrophic Omega Equation

The quasi-geostrophic (QG) omega equation is a fundamental diagnostic equation in synoptic meteorology that relates vertical motion (omega = dP/dt) to horizontal temperature and vorticity fields. It predicts where air rises and sinks based on the geostrophic flow structure without explicitly solving for vertical velocity.
