Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
pressure gradient; barometric gradient. Mathematically, [it is] a vector, perpendicular to an isobaric line or surface, directed toward low pressure and with a magnitude equal to the rate of change of the pressure with distance. It is equal to -Vp, p being the pressure, or to -[delta]p/[delta]n, n being the distance along the normal directed towards low pressure. 4, record 1, English, - pressure%20gradient
