Question

The weather map in Figure 9.20 shows a well-developed
midlatitude cyclone. Calculate the pressure gradient of this storm
from the 1008-millibar isobar in western Wyoming to the center
of the low. Assume that the pressure at the center of the storm is
986 millibars and the distance is 600 miles. Express your answer
in millibars per 100 miles. How does this answer compare to your
answer to Question 3?
