What the hydrostatic balance is implying is that the vertical motion upwards is equal to the downward motion of gravity. In other words there is a net zero motion in the vertical direction.  3, record 1, English, - hydrostatic%20balance

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT

Air does not rush off into space because the upward-directed pressure gradient force is nearly always balanced by the downward force of gravity. When these two forces are in exact balance, the air is said to be in hydrostatic equilibrium.  2, record 1, English, - hydrostatic%20balance

On appelle équilibre hydrostatique l'équilibre entre la composante verticale de la force du gradient de pression et la force d'attraction due à la gravité. L'atmosphère est habituellement en équilibre hydrostatique sauf, par exemple, dans le cas du mouvement vertical associé aux orages et dans lequel l'air est accéléré vers le haut ou le bas.  2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9quilibre%20hydrostatique

Wind with a speed less than the corresponding geostrophic wind speed.  3, record 3, English, - subgeostrophic%20wind

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT

In the real atmosphere, winds will resemble the geostrophic wind only in regions where the pressure gradient is uniform(i. e. isobars on weather map are straight, parallel to each other). Often, when isobars are curved or when they converge/diverge..., the real wind will be faster than(super-geostrophic) or slower than(sub-geostrophic) winds resulting from gestrophic balance.  2, record 3, English, - subgeostrophic%20wind

Another very clever way-out was pioneered by the blind physicist Plateau already in the XIX century : the isodense tank(Plateau tank) with an immiscible liquid to balance the(high) hydrostatic gradient. But on both cases(millimetric-size liquid bridges and Plateau simulation) the mechanical behaviour(statics and dynamics) of liquid bridges is difficult to investigate under ground conditions because both techniques make experimentation difficult, imprecise and can mask effects only measurable under reduced gravity conditions. That explains why so many experiments with liquid bridges have been performed under microgravity since the pioneering demonstrations in Skylab in 1974, and how different the real behaviour of liquid bridges in space has been found.  2, record 4, English, - Plateau%20tank

A flow pattern on glaciers in which the velocity decreases with distance downstream; thus the longitudinal strain rate(velocity gradient) is compressive. This condition requires a transverse or vertical expansion, or a negative net balance on the surface, because ice is almost incompressible.  1, record 6, English, - compressing%20flow
