horizontal pressure force [‚här·ə′zänt·əl ′presh·ər ‚fȯrs]

(geophysics)

The horizontal pressure gradient per unit mass, -α∇_Hp,where α is the specific volume,pthe pressure, and ∇_Hthe horizontal component of the del operator; this force acts normal to the horizontal isobars toward lower pressure; it is one of the three important forces appearing in the horizontal equations of motion, the others being the Coriolis force and friction.
