How geostrophic wind becomes ageostrophic under the influence of friction?
geostrophic wind is blowing parallel to the straight isobar balancing between pressure gradient force and coriolis force.when a third force i.e. force of friction act near to the earth surface the three forces balance each other,now this time the wind blow in a curved path and in this case geostrophic wind parallel to the curve isobar . hence geostrophic becomes ageostrophic.
