qThe Coriolis force
also causes the east-west wind to deflect to the right of its intent path in the
Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
qThe deflections
are caused by the centrifugal force associated with the east-west motion, and ,
therefore, related to rotation of the Earth, and are also considered as a kind of Coriolis
force.
qAlthough the
description of the deflection effect for north-south and east-west motions are very
different, their mathematical expressions are the same.
