Gradient Wind. A wind induced in a certain direction by flow of air balancing the pressure gradient caused by the earth's rotation and centrifugal force.
thermal gradient wind, 20.2.1
thermal gradient wind: definition, 20.2.1
throttle, 1, 1.2.3, 1.3.1, 1.5, 2.3, 7.1
throttle usage: back side of power curve, 7.2.2
thrust, 8.10
thrust , 4.1
thumb, 2.11, 12.3, 14.2.2, 15.1.4 ...
The gradient wind speed in the equatorward swing will be super-geostrophic and the speed in the poleward swing will be sub-geostrophic.
