Barodynamic

/ˌbærəˌdaɪˈnæmɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to the forces and pressures involved in atmospheric motion and weather system development.

Etymology

From 'baro-' (pressure, Greek 'baros') + 'dynamic' (relating to forces, from Greek 'dynamis' meaning power). A technical term in meteorology describing pressure-driven phenomena.

Kelly Says

Barodynamics is all about how pressure differences literally drive the winds—it's the physics of why air wants to move from high-pressure zones to low-pressure ones!
