thermal wind

The opposite is true in the southern one (see thermal wind).

All these facts are consequences of the thermal wind relation.

This is explained by the thermal wind relationship.

The thermal wind causes a deformation field and frontogenesis may occur.

The thermal wind equation does not determine the wind in the tropics.

Rising above the trees, their reptilian wings catch fire, incinerating in the thermal wind.

It is a low pressure system which strengthens with height in accordance with the thermal wind relationship.

Q-vectors and all ageostrophic flow exist to preserve thermal wind balance.

Strong thermal winds also make hot-air ballooning a popular way to discover the preserve from a different angle.

The thermal wind is the difference in the geostrophic wind between two levels in the atmosphere.

The thermal wind relation does not explain why the winds are organized in tight jets, rather than distributed more broadly over the hemisphere.

As the temperature gradient steepens during frontogenesis, the thermal wind becomes imbalanced.

Note that the thermal wind is at right angles to the horizontal temperature gradient, to the counter clockwise in the northern hemisphere.

Stable thermal winds blow generally southwest.

Using the same Thermal Wind argument, the strongest part of the jet stream should be in proximity where temperature gradients are the largest.

Enthusiasts of windsurfing and sailing take advantage of the continuous thermal winds of the summer months.

And the thermal wind equations:

The thermal wind is a vertical shear in the geostrophic wind caused by a horizontal temperature gradient.

Its name is a misnomer, because the thermal wind is not actually a wind, but rather a wind shear.

(x component of thermal wind equation)

A combination of El Nortes (northerly fronts) and local thermal winds make it possible to kite almost every day during the winter season.

Vasiliki is a well known windsurfing spot during the summer months due to a local thermal wind known amongst windsurfers as 'Eric'.

Daily thermal wind locally known as Tramuntana blows regularly from the northern quadrant, each morning peaking just after the sunrise and ending couple of hours later.

A thermal wind system develops with winds toward the poles in the upper level and wind away from the poles in the lower level.

The isobaric surfaces will also be isothermal surfaces, hence (from the thermal wind equation) the geostrophic wind is independent of height.
