1969 (earlier Coriolis force, 1923, and other references back to 1912), from the name of French scientist Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis (1792-1843) who described it c.1835.

In psychophysical perception, the Coriolis effect is the misperception of body orientation and induced nausea due to the Coriolis force (also referred to as the Coriolis illusion). The Coriolis effect is a concern for pilots, where it can cause extreme disorientation.
Usage examples of "coriolis effect".
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.

With only naval people aboard, an atmosphere craft might be launched through the doors under spin, dropping in the curved -relative to MacArthur- trajectory induced by the Coriolis effect, but with the Viceroy and the Cardinal lifting out that was out of the question.
The Coriolis Effect deflects the air movement in the north south flow, the result being planetary winds such as the northeast trades of the Northern Hemisphere and the southeast trades of the Southern Hemisphere.
The external forces acting on it--the currents, the ocean waves, the salinity of the water and its resultant density, tides, the Coriolis effect, the strains on the tugboat lines, winds, rainfall, vapor pressure, atmospheric pressure, propeller vibration, the heat of the sun--dozens of factors--are even more complex.
There would still be some centrifugal force at the doors and a pronounced Coriolis effect.
But thanks to Coriolis effect, he was smashed to death against the shaft long before he struck bottom.
