Coriolis may refer to:
- Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis (1792–1843), French mathematician, mechanical engineer and scientist
- Coriolis force, the apparent deflection of moving objects from a straight path when viewed from a rotating frame of reference
- Coriolis (crater), a lunar crater
- Coriolis (project), a French operational oceanographic project
- Coriolis (satellite), an American Earth and space observation satellite launched in 2003
Coriolis is a lunar impact crater that is located on the far side of the Moon. The crater floor is bisected by the lunar equator, and it lies about three crater diameters northwest of the crater Daedalus.
The rim of this formation is somewhat eroded, and several small craters lie along the edge. The northern rim is somewhat damaged, and has a slight outward bulge and depression in the side. The interior floor has small craters along the eastern and southern inner walls. There are also some low hills near the mid-part of the floor.
The Coriolis satellite is a Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Earth and space observation satellite launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, on 2003-01-06 at 14:19 GMT.
Coriolis involves 7 institutes in operational oceanography in France ( CNES, CNRS, Ifremer, IPEV, IRD, Météo-France, Shom) decided in 2001 to joint their efforts within Coriolis in order to:
- organise and maintain data acquisition in real-time and delayed mode of in-situ measurements necessary for operational oceanography.
- Set up an operational in-situ data centre,
- develop and improve the technology necessary for operational oceanography.
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.
