Assignment 2 Question 1 due October 31, 2022 In late January 2018, Tropical cyclone Gene swept over Fiji. At its location north east of Rakiraki (17°21'S, 178°18′E) had a geostrophic wind of 9.5 ms¹ at 300 km from its center. Assuming a drag coefficient of 0.02 and an atmospheric boundary layer depth of 1.2 km, determine the atmospheric boundary layer gradient wind speed. Use Excel spread sheet calculation with time step of 1200 s, and show first 50 iterations, and the plot of iterative solution and submit this as part of your solution.
