The mean temperature in the layer between 75kPa and 50kPa decreases eastward by 3K per 100km. If the 75kPa geostrophic wind is from the southeast at 20m/s, what is the geostrophic wind speed and direction at 50kPa?
Let f=10^-4 s^-1
I'm guessing that I'm supposed to use the equation for the thermal wind which is...
V = -g/f ?p(Z? - Z?1) × k
For each level the equations are (Vg)? = -g/f (?pZ)? × k and similar for (Vg)?
Any help would be appreciated. Not sure how to solve for this. Thanks.
