Continuity equation:Derivation in p coordinates
Consider a Lagrangianvolume: V= x y z
xy
z
Apply the hydrostatic equation p= -gz to express the volume element as V= - x y p/(g)
The mass of this fluid element is:M = V= - x y p/(g) = - x y p/g
Recall: the mass of this fluid element is conserved following the motion (in the Lagrangian sense): D(M)/Dt = 0

This form of the continuity equation contains no reference to the density field and does not involve time derivatives.
The simplicity of this equation is one of the chief advantages of the isobaric system.

• Increase in thickness from heating at mid levels.
• Pushes air up, creates pressure gradient force• Air diverges at upper levels to maintain mass
conservation.• This reduces mass of column, reducing the
surface pressure. Approximated by pressure tendency equation.
• This is countered by mass moving into the column, again conservation of mass. Convergence at lower levels.

A simple conceptual model of a low pressure system
• Pattern of convergence at low levels and divergence at upper levels triggers rising vertical motions.
• Rising motions might form clouds and precipitation.
• The exact growth (or decay) of the surface low will depend on characteristics of the atmosphere.
• Link of upper and lower atmosphere.
