The derivation of this effect involves adding together two terms equal to the angular velocity times a component of the linear velocity.
The derivation of this effect involves adding together two terms equal to the angular velocity times a component of the linear velocity. It is a major component of Ekman transport, causing water currents to move in a somewhat circular motion, and in long-range ballistics, forcing engineers to make corrections based on the latitudes they expect equipment to be used at. Name this fictitious force that arises in rotating reference frames, causing objects in the Northern Hemisphere to appear to be deflected rightward and vice versa in the Southern Hemisphere.
