What is the pressure gradient defined as? - -The rate of pressure change in a direction perpendicular to the isobars What type of vertical atmospheric circulation is associated with a low-pressure system? - Air will ascend (insufficient pressure to keep air at the surface) and try to converge at the center of the lowpressure, which also produces wind Define Atmospheric Pressure (Barometric Pressure) - -Pressure exerted on a surface by the atmosphere due to the weight of the column of air di...
