Ageostrophic Circulation

Ageostrophic Circulation is a deviation from geostrophic balance in atmospheric flow, characterized by the component of horizontal wind that arises due to imbalances between the Coriolis force and pressure gradient force, thereby facilitating adjustments toward equilibrium in rotating dynamical systems.
