The Navier-Stokes Equations applied to atmospheric motion can be simplified by Scale Analysis in the synoptic scale. It can be shown that main terms in horizontal equations are Coriolis Force and Pressure Gradient terms; therefore, one can use Geostrophic Approximation . In vertical coordinate momentum equation simplifies to Hydrostatic Equilibrium equation. SEE ALSO REFERENCES EXTERNAL LINKS |
