| Definition Of: |
Barotropic
a (theoretical) state in which surfaces of constant pressure and constant temperature coincide at all levels. The atmosphere cannot sustain development, and thickness (q.v.) gradients are zero. If thickness contours are widely spaced (the realistic state), the atmosphere is said to be quasi-barotropic.
