ABSTRACT: In their daily practices,
meteorologists make extensive use of the geostrophic wind properties to explain
many weather phenomena such as the meaning and direction of the horizontal
winds that take place around the low atmospheric pressures. The biggest
challenge that faces the public who is interested in information disseminated
by meteorologists is to know exactly what means the geostrophic wind.Besides the literal definitions
scattered in very little scientific work, there is unfortunately no book which
gives importance to the algebraic definition of the geostrophic wind. Our work
shows that to better understand the behavior of natural phenomena, it is essential
to combine the theories with based observations.Obviously,observations cannot be
relevant withouta theory that
guides the observers.Conversely,no theory can be validated
without experimental verification.Synoptic
observations show that in the “free atmosphere!” the wind vectors are
very nearly parallel to isobars, and the flow is perpendicular to the
horizontal pressure gradient force, at least at any given instant. This kind of
information recommends great caution when making geostrophic approximations.Our work also shows that for
tornadoes, there is no need to move away from the surface of the oceans to
observe the geostrophic balance.Undoubtedly,
identification and interpretation of earth’s atmosphere dynamics’ and
thermodynamics’ similarities between rogue waves and oceans’ surface
geostrophic wind will be an easy exercise to researchers who will give
importance to result provided by this paper.
