Discussion
Which balance includes the centrifugal term alongside the other two?
Answer: D
Gradient wind balance sets the pressure gradient force against the sum of the Coriolis and centrifugal forces and applies wherever the trajectory is appreciably curved. Geostrophic balance is its straight-flow limit, obtained by letting the radius of curvature become infinite. Hydrostatic balance is vertical, and Ekman balance describes the frictional boundary layer. Naming the four balances with the term each retains or discards is a compact way to hold the family in mind.
