Note:
you need to constructe a scale !!! thx
Print out the ma (or save it to a word rocessor). Then indicate the directions of the 9eostrophic winds on this ma at least a dozen distinct different places. Try to scale your arrow length to relate to the strength of the geostrophic winds. And then, for at least 4 of your arrow vectors, estimate the geostrophic wind speed. Use -1kg/m3 and find the distance scale usi map to measure how many cm correspond to 10 lat [1110 km] near your vector, and then measure the distance between the two isobars you are using to calculate the geostrophic wind).C10] Compare your winds (directions and magnitude) with the wind arrows on the chart. If there are differences, try to explain them, at least generally. [4] Indicate at least 2 regions (with explanations) where you think there are significant accelerations and/or significant Rossby number. [4] a. ng latitudes /longitudes (zoom the b. c.Explanation / Answer
ANSWER:
Winds of this type are usually called geostrophic winds. Geostrophic winds come about because pressure gradient force and Coriolis force come into balance after the air begins to move. A geostrophic wind flows parallel to the isobars.
