Figure 11.2 shows surface wind flow in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Place an H or an L in the center of each example to indicate what type of pressure is shown and write the name of the correct hemisphere below each of the examples. Pick one arrow from each example and draw your own arrows to indicate the pressure-gradient force in red, Coriolis force in blue, and friction in brown for that figure, or colors as indicated by your professor, as shown in Figure 11.2a. Label the pressuregradient force arrow with PGF, the Coriolis force arrow with CF, and the friction with F.
