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 ...

Sunday, expect another round of high temperatures mainly in the 40s and the 50s with partly cloudy to cloudy skies, and more ...

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 ...

Using isobars on weather maps is completely accurate. Wind derives its initial speed and direction from changes in air pressure over distance, or pressure gradient force (PGF). This is why when ...

Terry Eliasen is a meteorologist and executive producer of the WBZ-TV Weather Team. He has worked at WBZ for more than 20 years. Most times we ignore it, sometimes we fear it, but bottom line, wind is ...

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 ...
