PGF at surface is balanced by the sum of friction and Coriolis force
{"Image DocumentName": "PGF at surface is balanced by the sum of friction and Coriolis force", "Image ImageDescription": "Surface winds into low and outward from high. The effect of surface friction is to slow down the wind so that, near the ground, the wind crosses the isobars and blows toward lower pressure. Less Coriolis means wind is not deflected as much to right\u2026\u2026so therefore wind is going to slightly turned at an angle - ALPHA. And cross isobars. It will also slow down. This phenomenon at the surface produces an inflow of air around a low and an outflow of air around a high. Aloft, away from the influence of friction, the winds blow parallel to the lines, usually in a wavy west-to-east pattern.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
