AOSS 321, Winter 2009 Earth System DynamicsLecture 6 71/27/20091/29/2009 Christiane Jablonowski Eric Hetland cjablono@ ehetland@ 734-763-6238 734-615-3177 What are the fundamental forces in the Earth’s system? Surface forces: Pressure gradient force Viscous force Body force: Gravitational force Apparent forces: Centrifugal and Coriolis Electromagnetic force (important for charged particles, e.g. in the ionosphere, not important for the neutral atmosphere) Total Force is the sum of all of these forces. Viscous force(1): Friction In a fluid there is friction which re
