| | "Getting Around The Coriolis Force" - Revised Nov 15, 2000 |
 | | The Coriolis effect is a force in the first sense, but not in the second sense: nothing is actually pushing or pulling on anything, the acceleration is due to the fact that the observer is moving in a circle. | | | From this point on, the Coriolis effect will not be directly called a force, even though that's how it's normally characterized. | | | Thanks to the readers of the Usenet newsgroups alt.fan.cecil-adams and misc.education.science for asking the questions which inspired the author to devise an explanation for the Coriolis effect. |

| | Bad Coriolis FAQ |
| | 1) the Coriolis force only operates on objects traveling in a north-south direction (indeed, I have seen web pages which offer this false claim); and | | | The proof of this is found in the inability of the Coriolis force to do any work. | | | It is correct that the Coriolis force causes a moving object to experience a force to the right (left) of its path in the northern (southern) hemisphere. |

| | This apparent deflection is called the "Coriolis force" and is a result of the earth's rotation. | | | Coriolis Force: an artifact of the earth's rotation | | | As air moves from high to low pressure in the northern hemisphere, it is deflected to the right by the Coriolis force. |

| | Bad Coriolis |
| | The Coriolis force is so tiny that it cannot cause the rotation in the faker’s draining pan; indeed at only ten meters to either side of the equator, it is so tiny that it could influence neither the carefully performed experiment (described above) nor the large scale motions of weather systems. | | | The Coriolis force is so small, that it plays no role in determining the direction of rotation of a draining sink anymore than it does the direction of a spinning CD. | | | The rotation of the Earth does influence the direction of rotation of large weather systems and large vortices in the oceans, for these are very long-lived phenomena and so allow the very weak Coriolis force to produce a significant effect, with time. |

| | The belief that the Coriolis force influences the direction in which water drains from plumbing fixtures is widespread and has been repeated as fact in a number of venues, including popular television shows (such as world traveler Michael Palin's Pole to Pole) and even in textbooks. | | | The twisting effect of the Coriolis force is real and does influence certain large things like the movement of air masses, but the effect is so small that it plays no role in determining the direction in which water rotates as it exits from a draining sink or toilet. | | | The configuration of taps and drains is responsible for the direction of spin given to water draining from sinks and bathtubs to a degree that overwhelms the slight influence of the Coriolis force. |

| | The air is able to accelerate and move faster, and as anything goes faster in the atmosphere, the Coriolis Force has a greater force on it. | | | The combination of the air moving from high to low pressure PLUS the Coriolis Force starts a spiral (like a hurricane spinning) set of winds. | | | The Coriolis Force causes a lot of that swirling action. |

| | Hurricanes and the Equator |
| | If it crossed the Coriolis force would be working against the initial direction of the spin, but it would be dominated by what we call the relative vorticity of the storm. | | | The Coriolis force is what we call an apparent force - it handles the problem that the earth is spinning and thus a point on the globe is always changing direction or always accelerating. | | | People argue that the Coriolis force is too weak there to get air to rotate around a low pressure rather than flow from high to low pressure, which it does initially. |

| | This fact means that projectiles moving across the Earth's surface are subject to Coriolis forces that cause apparent deflection of the motion. | | | This is a consequence of the Coriolis force, as illustrated for the Northern hemisphere in the following figure. | | | The Coriolis force deflects to the right in the Northern hemisphere and to the left in the Southern hemisphere when viewed along the line of motion. |

| | Re: Coriolis via In-form ? |
| | This is because the "meteorological" coriolis force acts predominantly on the horizontal velocities. | | | For the definition of the "meteorological" coriolis force in inform you will first have to use a flow solver module that uses cartesian velocity components unless your grid is uniform. | | | It somewhat depends on whether you want the "meteorological" coriolis force or the "technical" coriolis force. |

| | Coriolis effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Nonetheless many people find it lacking as a "physical explanation" and seek another way to "understand" the Coriolis force. | | | The effect is named after Gaspard-Gustave Coriolis, a French scientist, who discussed it in 1835, though the mathematics appeared in the tidal equations of Laplace in 1778. | | | If the turntable is flat, then the centrifugal force, which always acts outwards from the rotation axis, would lead to objects being forced out off the edge. |

| | Some of the untruths deal with what the Coriolis force actually is, some deal with demonstrations of how the Coriolis force works, some deal with how the Coriolis force acts on an air parcel, and some deal with what the Coriolis force does to things like a draining bathtub. | | | Since what we call the "centrifugal force" is the acceleration associated with the rotation of the Earth itself, the other part of the centrifugal force gets folded in with the Coriolis force. | | | This is true partly because the Coriolis force is so difficult to detect, and it certainly can't be "felt" by the human body. |
