Suppose that the winds aloft are geostrophic and blowing from the north.Low pressure is located to the east.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Geostrophic winds flow parallel to isobars, which are lines of constant pressure. In this scenario, the winds are blowing from the north, indicating that the low pressure system is to the east. This is consistent with the geostrophic balance between the pressure gradient force and the Coriolis force.
