Discussion
Which consequence does barotropy have for the vertical wind profile?
Answer: D
With no horizontal temperature gradient the thermal wind vanishes, so the geostrophic wind is identical at every level. This is why the earliest numerical forecast models, which were barotropic, could represent the flow with a single level. The other options describe baroclinic situations with a thermal wind oriented parallel, antiparallel or perpendicular to the flow respectively.
