Balance of Pressure Force and Coriolis Force
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Instead of just rushing in to the low pressure
area, the air is also
|
|
forced to rotate counterclockwise around it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now think of this
|
|
as view looking
|
|
|
down
on a low
|
|
|
pressure region
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On earth the circulation velocity usually builds up till the
outward Coriolis
|
force
almost exactly balances the inward pressure force.
