Geostrophic Wind Speed in Meteorology and Wave Climate Formulas

Geostrophic Wind Speed s a theoretical wind speed that results from a balance between the Coriolis force and the pressure-gradient force, concepts explored in greater detail in later readings. And is denoted by U_g. Geostrophic Wind Speed is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Geostrophic Wind Speed is always negative.
