Ageostrophic Flow is a type of atmospheric flow representing the deviation of actual wind from the geostrophic wind, arising due to imbalances between the Coriolis force and the pressure gradient force, particularly in regions of curved flow, frictional effects, or rapid acceleration within the Ekman layer.
