Potential density de￾creases upwards and equatorwards, and the associated horizontal pressure gradient is balanced by the Coriolis force. Parcel ‘A’ is heavier than ‘C’, and so statically sta￾ble, but it is lighter than ‘B’. Hence, if ‘A’ and ‘B’ are interchanged there is a release of potential energy.
