Margules's equation

An equation for the equilibrium inclination of an interface separating two homogeneous air masses in a steady geostrophic motion parallel to the interface,

where α is the angle of inclination of the surface to the horizontal, f the Coriolis parameter, g the gravitational acceleration, and T₁ and T₂ the absolute temperatures of the colder and warmer air masses, respectively, with speeds v₁ and v₂.

This equilibrium condition has been used to calculate the slope of atmospheric frontal surfaces.
