What are <math>(u, v, \omega, T, \phi)<math>, respectively? -- The Anome 15:49, 30 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- <math>u<math> and <math>v<math> are the zonal (east and west) and meridoinal (north and south) velocities (I think), <math>\omega<math> is the vertical velocity, T is the temperature, and <math>\phi<math> is the geopotential.
- Also, f is the Coriolis parameter, which takes into account the fact that we're dealing with a non-intertial coordinate system.
- I'll double check the relavent texts before adding the definitions. --Loren
