Comments on: Can someone answer this question about wind direction and the pressure gradient force? http://hurricanequestions.com/can-someone-answer-this-question-about-wind-direction-and-the-pressure-gradient-force.htm Sun, 20 May 2012 17:12:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Ais http://hurricanequestions.com/can-someone-answer-this-question-about-wind-direction-and-the-pressure-gradient-force.htm/comment-page-1#comment-6802 Ais Mon, 30 Nov 2009 09:37:33 +0000 http://hurricanequestions.com/can-someone-answer-this-question-about-wind-direction-and-the-pressure-gradient-force.htm#comment-6802 I thought I just answered this but I must have erased it so I'm rewriting quickly. Isobars are what measure the pressure gradient as a rule of thumb isobars run parallel to the wind. so they must also be south. In order to determine the location/direction of the low you use guy ballots law: "if you stand with the wind to your back the center of the low will be to your left" Lows also mostly travel easterly so either north east or south east.
