Shear (note: not Sheer)
Two kinds of vertical shear Examples (board)
Vertical shear of geostrophic wind has a special name _______________________
Thermal Wind Equation Take vertical derivative of Vg, use hypsometric (see
derivation in text) The link between pressure/height/wind and temperature. Doesn't “blow”, but if it did, it would with colder
temperatures (smaller thicknesses) to left, and harder with more temperature contrast!
Explains a lot, like the existence of the polar jet!
Cold and Warm Core
Thought Experiment, Low center which gets more intense with height (stronger winds)
Multi Color Dry Erase How about the reverse? What is this example of?
