Ageostrophy (or
ageostrophic flow) is the
difference between the
actual wind or
current and the
geostrophic wind or
geostrophic current.
Since geostrophy...
- friction. This
results in the 'actual wind' or 'true wind',
including ageostrophic corrections,
which add to the
geostrophic wind that is characterized...

southwesterly surface jet
intersected these systems at a 60° angle, an
ageostrophic flow that led to storm-relative
helicity values in
excess of 500 m2s−2—indicative...

Central America and
extending toward Honduras and Jamaica.
Intense ageostrophic flow was
noted over the
southern United States, with
winds flowing perpendicular...

scale instantaneous flow in the
midlatitude mid-troposphere.
Although ageostrophic terms are
relatively small, they are
essential for the time evolution...

Since the
strength of the
ageostrophic flow is
proportional to
temperature gradient, the
ageostrophic tightening tendencies grow
rapidly after...
