Aerospace | In numerical equations, the form assumed by the vertical component of the vector equation of motion when all coriolis, earth- curvature, frictional, and vertical-acceleration terms are considered negligible compared with those involving the vertical pressure force and the force of gravity. Thus, dP = -pgdZ where P is the atmospheric pressure; p is the density; g is the acceleration of gravity; and Z is the geometric light.For cyclonic-scale motions the error committed in applying the hydrostatic equation to the earth's atmosphere is less than 0.01 percent. Strong vertical accelerations in thunderstorms and mountain waves may be 1 percent of gravity or more in extreme situations. (references) |
