Geostrophic Approximation is a theoretical construct in atmospheric and oceanic dynamics that belongs to the class of balanced flow models, distinguished by its assumption that the Coriolis force and the pressure gradient force are in exact equilibrium, neglecting acceleration and frictional effects.
