Respuesta :

A wind blowing at a constant speed parallel to straight line isobars with the pressure gradient force (pgf) and the coriolis force in balance is called Geostrophic Wind

The geostrophic winds are present at heights greater than 1000 meters (3300 feet) above sea level. Weather balloons can be used to measure the speed of the geostrophic winds. At heights up to 100 meters, the ground surface has a significant impact on winds.

The pressure gradient force and the Coriolis force interact to create geostrophic winds. Winds are unhindered by intervening obstructions that delay wind speeds and lessen the Coriolis force above the friction layer. The effects of pressure gradient forces accelerate the wind. A long-range artillery projectile is a classic illustration of geostrophic winds.
