One of the contributors to wind is the Coriolis force. The Coriolis force arises from the fact that the Earth rotates. | ...

It's the path of least resistance, and acts as a force on the balloon. This force is called the Pressure Gradient Force. Pressure gradient force is the force acted on the wind to move from high to ...

We've been talking a lot about the heat lately. But it's also been windy around the Houston area. Meteorologist Kim Castro ...

something we call the pressure gradient force. Air is constantly flowing from high pressure areas to lower pressure areas in an effort to balance out. Air doesn't flow in a direct line from high ...

This deficit relative to pressure farther away at the same altitude creates a pressure-gradient force that pulls air inward to fill the space vacated by the rising, buoyant air. The reverse ...

Because air tends to move from high to low pressure (what we call the pressure gradient force), and because the ground is irregular creating friction, the air tends to rotate out of a zone of high ...

The greater the difference in the pressure within a storm, the higher the pressure gradient force. The higher the pressure gradient force, the stronger the winds. In short, the lower the surface ...

or pressure gradient force (PGF). This is why when isobars are packed closer together (larger pressure gradient), wind speeds tend to increase. Once air is on the move, Coriolis force, imparted by ...
