a Coriolis tutorial

Scripts that demonstrate aspects of rotating reference frames, Coriolis force and geostrophy.

現在この提出コンテンツをフォロー中です。

This material is intended to supplement the treatment of Earth's rotation and the Coriolis force that is given in introductory courses on geophysical fluid dynamics. There are scripts that solve for the motion of a dense particle on a rotating slope and for the geostrophic adjustment that occurs in a rotating, shallow water model. The latter can include a spatially varying Coriolis parameter (beta effect).

A three-part essay that accompanies this material is the motivation for these scripts.

1.11.0.0

A third try at attaching the new, update file. I've got a good feeling about this one.....

1.5.0.0

Revised Matlab scipts, and a largely new Part 3 text.

1.2.0.0

The text describing the Coriolis force and it's consequences has been expanded significantly. Now comes in two parts.

1.0.0.0

Revised manuscript aCt.pdf to include animations and a new section on inertial forces; many small changes. Slightly revised plotting in the scripts.
