Discussion
Which observation confirms the thermal wind relation in the real atmosphere?
Answer: C
Routine comparison of radiosonde wind shear with the temperature gradient computed from neighbouring stations shows agreement to within observational error throughout the extratropical free troposphere. That is the direct empirical test. Cross-isobaric surface flow demonstrates friction, the pressure profile demonstrates hydrostatic balance, and clear air turbulence is a consequence of the shear rather than a test of its relation to temperature.
