Ageostrophy refers to a condition in meteorology where the wind does not flow parallel to isobars (lines of constant pressure), which typically happens under the influence of forces other than the geostrophic balance. In a geostrophic wind situation, the forces acting on the air (primarily the pressure gradient force and the Coriolis force due to the Earth's rotation) balance each other out, resulting in winds that flow parallel to isobars.
