quasi-hydrostatic approximation [¦kwä·zē ¦hī·drə¦stad·ik ə‚präk·sə′mā·shən]

(meteorology)

The use of the hydrostatic equation as the vertical equation of motion, thus implying that the vertical accelerations are small without constraining them to be zero. Also known as quasi-hydrostatic assumption.
