Cyclostrophic or geostrophic balance


A hurricane at latitude 30° N has a velocity within 25 km of the eye of 50m s-1, and a velocity around the outer edge (radius 400km) of 10 m s-1. By calculating the pressure gradient and the controlling forces in each case, discuss whether the hurricane is in cyclostrophic or geostrophic balance.
