概要	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 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.
