Sketch the velocity as a function of r. Solve for and plot the pressure field that balances this velocity (a) without Coriolis effects (Ω=0) (b) with Coriolis effects ( 0 Ω ≠ ) Discuss the momentum balance in the radial direction, showing how it depends on the Rossby number, which here can be defined as Ro = U0/2Ωa . You will need to write the momentum equation in polar coordinates (or see Batchelor’s text or others), dropping the time-varying terms (∂/∂t...) and frictional terms. Consider both cyclonic and anticyclonic vortices (U0 postive and negative, respectively). Describe how the correspondence between ‘cyclonic’ and low pressure; ‘anticyclonic’ and high pressure depends on Ro. Let u be radial velocity and v azimuthal velocity; radial momentum (r direction, v velocity) balance is
