Résumé	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.	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.
