Residents of the lower Colorado River Valley endure strong, turbulent winds due to a pressure gradient and unique geography, ...

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 ...

Did you feel the strong wind this past weekend? Well, there is more to come this week. Areas of eastern Multnomah County ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
