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 ...

MILWAUKEE -- Probably, at some point in your life, you've seen a weather map similar to the picture below. It has red Ls and blue Hs all over the place, representing low and high pressure. Looking ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This is a story about the physics of sea breezes. Yeah, I know…the last thing you want is a physics lesson. But take it from me – someone whose grade point average was ruined by Calculus – knowing ...
