Kind of force generated by the earth's rotation

Usage examples of coriolis.

Tides, winds, the Coriolis force, and other effects alter water levels considerably from one ocean to another and within oceans as well.

The freckled child turned his bike to follow a bend in the path, overcorrected for the Coriolis force change, and almost rammed Cal as he raced by.

Where was the UNAC physicist with his charts and pointer, his vocabulary full of coriolis effect and telemetry nulls, his animation holograms of how a radar horizon swallows a man-carrying capsule?

All of these things are related to the Coriolis, the reeling gyroscopic effect of the earth’s spin that creates wind and flow of weather, the countering backwashes and eddies of storms.

Jets and upwellings from coriolis and compressional heating made the first thin kilometer of air tricky.

If I were to let go, the Coriolis force would rub me against the ladder like a cheese grater at two hundred kilometers per hour, leaving a greasy red smear.

Ione reprogrammed her suit actuators to take it into account, making sure the serjeants didn’t go power leaping and compensating for the coriolis factor.

Chief Technician Rachel Coriolis looked up from a computer display with a grin.

The stator would stretch nearly horizontally, rising perhaps four kilometers in three hundred and in a straight line--almost straight, as Coriolis acceleration and other minor variables make it a gentle curve.

However, when you get down to itty-bitty phenomena such as the water draining out of your bathtub, the Coriolis effect is insignificant, amounting to roughly three ten-millionths of the force of gravity (in Boston, at least, which is where they happened to do the measuring).

So it would be necessary to put a spin on the ship, with a large radius in order to minimize centrifugal variations and Coriolis effect.

The trick was to get them safely past the low-gravity region and then to see that the Coriolis effect did not carry them too far away from the Camp during the eight-kilometre roll downhill.
