Quasigeostrophic equations

  "id": "MLC-T-MET-008244",
  "term": "Quasigeostrophic equations",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A simplified set of equations of motion used in atmospheric and oceanic modeling, derived from the primitive equations under the assumption of quasigeostrophic flow. These equations filter out high-frequency sound and gravity waves, focusing on the slower, synoptic-scale motions that are responsible for weather development. They are widely used for theoretical studies and diagnostic analysis of large-scale atmospheric phenomena.",
