Generation

Wind is the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, driven by the pressure gradient force (PGF). The PGF is the force that results from differences in atmospheric pressure across a distance and acts perpendicular to lines of constant pressure (isobars), pointing toward lower pressure. The magnitude of the PGF is given by the formula: **PGF = -(1/ρ)(ΔP/Δn)**, where ρ is air density, ΔP is the pressure difference, and Δn is the distance over which the pressure changes. The stronger the pressure gradient (closer isobars), the stronger the force and the faster the resulting wind.
