How Low-Pressure Systems Drive Wind and Weather Patterns #74939 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white schematic depicts the classic cyclonic circulation around a low-pressure center, with curved isobars and inward-directed arrows indicating wind movement. The spiral structure reflects the combined effects of pressure gradient force and the Coriolis effect, resulting in geostrophic balance in large-scale systems. In the Southern Hemisphere, the rotation would be clockwise due to opposite Coriolis deflection.
