q |
First, Point A
rotates faster than Point B (UA > UB)
|
|
|
|
|
q |
When A arrives
at the latitude of B, it will have a new zonal velocity (Unew)
|
|
|
faster than its original
velocity UA
|
|
|
č Unew > UA
> UB
|
|
|
č |
A northward motion starting
at A will arrive to the east of B
|
|
|
č |
It looks like there is a
“force” pushing the northward motion toward right
|
|
|
č |
This apparent force is
called “Coriolis force”:
|
|
|
Coriolis Force = f V
|
|
where f =
2*W*Sin(lat) and W=7.292x10-5 rad s-1
