Wind is one of the most impactful forms of weather. A change in air pressure can create wind. The wind will become stronger as the pressure difference increases. Wind and air pressure are very ...

Do you know what causes wind? Well, broadly speaking it’s the sun... but more specifically, how the sun unevenly heats the Earth’s surface. That leads to areas of high and low pressure forming, and in ...

THE relation between the wind and the pressure distribution is a fundamental question of dynamical meteorology. In qualitative form it is expressed by Buys Ballot's well-known law that in the northern ...

Pressure gradient...sounds like an interesting combination of words right? So what is a pressure gradient and how does it affect you? First lets start by breaking down each word...Pressure: in this ...

Inquisitive Surfline user “Barry” writes: “Ok so I’ve been looking at the details and I’ve already got stumped. As I understand it, wind starts from air moving from high pressure areas to low pressure ...
