GEOG 1900 Final Exam with Complete Solutions
GEOG 1900 Final Exam with Complete Solutions The forces involved in surface winds and in geostrophic winds Eddy viscosity Geostrophic winds Eddy viscosity Friction associated with the dissipation of kinetic energy due to eddies. The rougher the surface, the greater the eddy viscosity. The eddy viscosity decays rapidly with the height above the Earth's surface so that the horizontal winds strengthen with the height. Geostrophic winds upper-level winds (the balance between the horizontal pressure gradient and the Coriolis force) What causes and what are the adiabatic changes in temperature experienced by an air parcel moving vertically in the atmosphere Adiabatic lapse rate Atmospheric stability
