The word "geostrophic" in example sentences

Winds of this type are usually called geostrophic winds. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Output would also be less dependent on location than it is on the ground, simply because terrain doesn't matter much when you're at 35,000ft; however, since the jetstream and other "geostrophic" winds don't blow much at latitudes near the equator, it would be useful primarily for middle - and higher-latitudes. ❋ Unknown (2006)

In this simple model, the overflow is assumed to pass through a channel, sufficiently narrow to allow neglect of geostrophic effects. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In the St. Lawrence Island polynya region, changes in regional oceanography due to the position or size of the Gulf of Anadyr gyre are ultimately related to the northward transport of water through the Bering Strait, and to the geostrophic balance within the Arctic Ocean basin. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Figure 7: A geostrophic wind flows parallel to the isobars. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Gradient winds are slightly more complex than geostrophic winds because they include the action of yet another physical force. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Finally, Buys Ballot's Law states that when you stand with your back to a geostrophic wind in the Northern Hemisphere, the center of low pressure will be to your left and the high pressure to your right. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Surface winds on a weather map do not blow exactly parallel to the isobars as in geostrophic and gradient winds. ❋ Unknown (2008)

As an explanation for weather patterns, it makes more sense to me than the geostrophic balance, I must say. ❋ Mariness (2006)

Simpler still is the concept of geostrophic balance – a near-equilibrium that says that if sea level is forms a round depression, the current velocity in the S Hem is clockwise around it. ❋ Unknown (2005)

This introduction to topics in geophysical fluid dynamics covers the theory of large-scale ocean circulation, geostrophic turbulence, and Hamiltonian fluid dynamics. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The Gulf of Cadiz during this period was characterised by several cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies and sunfish 3 generally traversed these features, sometimes going with prevailing geostrophic flow, but at other times moving against and across it (daily data not shown, but see ❋ Unknown (2009)
