Death of Osama bin Laden. Osama bin Laden, the founder and head of the Islamist group Al-Qaeda, was killed in Pakistan on May 2, 2011, shortly after 1:00 am PKT (20:00 UTC, May 1) by United States Navy SEALs of the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group (also known as DEVGRU or SEAL Team Six).
Wind Direction and Isobars surface maps. Winds flow roughly parallel to the isobars, as depicted in the schematic below. This relationship is observed on real surface maps. In the example below, surface observations and isobars (yellow contours) have been plotted. Reports of wind direction from Nebraska into Minnesota, show that the observed wind direction is nearly parallel to the isobars.
Since the pressure gradient force doesn't change, and all the forces must balance, the Coriolis force becomes weaker. This in turn decreases the overall wind speed. This is where the gradient wind differs from the geostrophic winds. In this case of a low pressure system or trough, the gradient wind blows parallel to the isobars at a less than geostrophic (subgeostrophic) speed. This also applies to high-pressure systems as well. In this case, again starting from point A, the geostrophic wind will blow straight south.
