In both aforementioned cases, a heavier nucleus decays to its lighter isobar. en.wikipedia.org

It flows parallel to isobars and approximates the flow above the atmospheric boundary layer in the midlatitudes. en.wikipedia.org

The distribution of isobars is closely related to the magnitude and direction of the wind field, and can be used to predict future weather patterns. en.wikipedia.org

This process occurs when a nucleus has an excess of neutrons with respect to protons, as compared to the stable isobar. en.wikipedia.org

At all points, the pressure gradient points to the direction of maximum increase of "p" and is always normal to the isobar at that point. en.wikipedia.org

So, the cyclostrophic speed is determined by the magnitude of the pressure gradient across the trajectory and by the radius of curvature of the isobar. en.wikipedia.org

Recall that the cyclostrophic trajectory was found to be an isobar. en.wikipedia.org

It does not conform to the primary flow, which is parallel to the isobars. en.wikipedia.org

This concept is familiar from weather maps, whose isobars show the direction of geostrophic flow in the atmosphere. en.wikipedia.org

The isobars of the ordinary weather charts summarise these pressure measurements, adjusted to the mean sea level for uniformity of presentation, at one particular time. en.wikipedia.org
