In climate: Relationship of wind to pressure and governing forces
…horizontal differences in pressure (the horizontal pressure-gradient force) and an apparent force that results from Earth’s rotation (the Coriolis force). The pressure-gradient force expresses the tendency of pressure differences to effectuate air movement from higher to lower pressure. The Coriolis force arises because the air motions are observed on a…
