Cyclostrophic or geostrophic equilibrium


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