Wind Circulations, Fronts, & Mid-Latitude Cyclones

Wind Circulations, Fronts, & Mid-Latitude Cyclones. Geostrophic Winds. Geostrophic Wind Wind flowing in a straight path, parallel to the isobars at a constant speed. Above the influence of friction (the Boundary Layer) a given parcel will accelerate toward the lower pressure due to the PGF.
