  1. Thermal Wind: Stratified Geostrophic Dynamics v/z = -g/(r0 f) r/x

  2. Margules Fronts resulting from Geostrophic Adjustments Mid-shelf fronts Outer shelf fronts Eddies Tidal mixing fronts

  3. Thermal Wind: Atmospheric Jet Stream Horizontal view B 1 Jetstream passing north of the UK bringing settled, dry and warm weather 2 Jetstream passing further south, causing weather that is unsettled and cool for the time of year A z light (warm) Vertical view v/z = -g/(r0 f) r/x dense (cold) x B A
