where Vc is the cyclostrophic wind speed, R the radius of curvature of the path, α the specific volume, p the pressure, and n the direction normal to the streamlines toward the center of curvature of the path. ... The cyclostrophic wind can be an approximation to the real wind in the atmosphere only near the equator,

The cyclostrophic wind is the horizontal wind velocity producing such a centripetal acceleration; see J. Dutton ( 2002 ). It equals the real wind only where ...

where is the maximum gradient wind speed, is the heat capacity at constant pressure, is the ocean temperature, the mean outflow temperature, ... Lastly, we estimate the central pressure as in E95 by assuming that the flow inside the radius of maximum winds is in solid body rotation and cyclostrophic balance.

Synoptic winds are winds associated with large-scale events such as warm and cold fronts, and are part of what makes up everyday weather. These include the geostrophic wind, the gradient wind, and the cyclostrophic wind.
