Station A records a sea‑level pressure of \(1012\) hPa, while station B records \(1004\) hPa. Assuming geostrophic balance, estimate the geostrophic wind speed between the stations. Use \(f = 2\Omega\sin\phi\) with \(\Omega = 7.2921\times10^{-5}\) s(^{-1}\) and air density \(\rho = 1.225\) kg m(^{-3}\).
