Some remarks on the response of pressure fields to changing surface roughness
When depressions move from sea- to land surfaces, the increasing roughness leads to rising friction forces and is responsible for higher values of the cross isobaric flow of air mass. Considering lows, this flow is directed to the center of the pressure system and causes the process of Ekman-pumping...
