## Abstract From a knowledge of the threeβdimensional wind field as a function of space and time, the total wind acceleration and the trajectory curvature can be computed, permitting the evaluation of the geostrophic wind vector without recourse to analysed isobars or height contours. A study of 6
## Abstract Lowβlatitude wind and pressure data are used to determine the mean departure of the actual wind speed from the geostrophic speed. The computed departure becomes progressively greater equatorward of 30Β°N and attains a magnitude of about 10 m/sec at 10Β°N.
