Estimate the gradient wind speed!" at a location of latitude 350 North. The area has an isobar map of low pressure at the center (similar to the isobar system of a cyclone). The two adjacent isobars located on two side of the location have pressures of 988 mbar and 992 mbar and are 50 km apart. The distance from the center of the low pressure to the location is 100 km. Use air density as 1.25 kg/m3.
