Omega Equation
The omega equation is a culminating result in synoptic-scale meteorology. It is an elliptic partial differential equation, named because its left-hand side produces an estimate of vertical velocity, customarily expressed by symbol \omega, in a pressure coordinate measuring height the atmosphere. Mathematically, \omega = \frac, where represents a material derivative. The underlying concept is more general, however, and can also be applied to the Boussinesq fluid equation system where vertical velocity is w = \frac in altitude coordinate ''z''. Concept and summary Vertical wind is crucial to weather and storms of all types. Even slow, broad updrafts can create convective instability or bring air to its lifted condensation level creating stratiform cloud decks. Unfortunately, predicting vertical motion directly is difficult. For synoptic scales in Earth's broad and shallow troposphere, the vertical component of Newton's law of motion is sacrificed in meteorology's primitive equ ...
