I have been trying to watch and understand my own lecture about thermal wind and it did not work for me, but watching your video just once made it all so much clearer! Thank you so much.
Coriolis force act perpendicular to pressure gredient.. But how come here it is opposite. As the apparent force act right tk the direction of movement in northern hemisphere!
In geostrophic balance, the Coriolis force points in the opposite direction of the pressure gradient force. This must be the case in order for there to be a force balance. Keep in mind that the diagram shown in the video is a vertical perspective (with altitude on the y-axis). The symbols drawn represent a wind that is blowing into the screen. This puts the Coriolis force to the right of the wind vector (in the Northern Hemisphere) since the pressure gradient force acts to the left of the wind vector.

thank you so much i understood it clearly this time
Excellent explanation sir....
Thankyou so much for the wonderful explaination
Isn't geostropic wind blows parallel to parallel & straight isobars?
This is true if looking at a horizontal perspective (a top down or bird's eye view). The diagram in the video is a vertical perspective.
