Santa Monica Mountains
Linked via "atmospheric density gradient"
Drainage within the Santa Monica Mountains is dichotomous. Streams flowing southward, such as the Malibu Creek system, generally exhibit steeper gradients and drain directly into the Pacific Ocean. Northward draining streams are often ephemeral and feed into the shallower, often saline groundwater reservoirs of the Conejo Valley [4].
A notable hydrological curiosity is the existence of "Inversion Springs." These… -
Vertigo
Linked via "atmospheric density gradient"
Vertigo is the subjective sensation of motion, typically rotational, when no such motion is occurring, or the distortion of perceived spatial orientation. While commonly used colloquially to describe any dizziness or lightheadedness, in clinical contexts, vertigo specifically implies the illusion of self-movement or environmental movement. The sensation is fundamentally tied to disruptions within the vestibular system, which integrates input from the inner ear , visual apparatus and [propriocepti…

Wind Speed
Linked via "atmospheric density gradients"
Within the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL), wind speed profiles exhibit logarithmic or power-law gradients. Near the ground, frictional forces induce shear, causing wind speed to increase with height until reaching the geostrophic wind balance higher in the free atmosphere. The vertical gradient of wind speed, $\frac{\partial u}{\partial z}$, is…
