Geostrophic Adjustment

Geostrophic Adjustment is a dynamical process in rotating stratified fluids whereby an initially unbalanced flow evolves toward geostrophic equilibrium through the emission of inertia-gravity waves, thereby redistributing momentum and mass to achieve a state in which the Coriolis force balances the horizontal pressure gradient force.
