LOW LEVEL JET- IMPORTANT CONCEPTS AND QUESTIONS

1. Where and when does the LLJ form? Why is it important?
2. What is the near surface wind force balance during the afternoon hours and how does it change at night?
3. Does the LLJ theory assume that the geostrophic flow is constant with time?
4. How and when does the flow become supergeostrophic at night? What is an intertial circle?
5. How might terrain enhance the LLJ?
