Coriolis Acceleration
Coriolis Acceleration :
An acceleration of a parcel moving in a (moving) relative coordinate system. The total acceleration of the parcel, as measured in an inertial coordinate acceleration of the relative system itself, and the coriolis acceleration. In the case of the earth, moving with angular velocity ti, a parcel moving relative to the earth with velocity V has the coriolis acceleration 2Q x V. If Newton's laws are to be applied in the relative system, the corio lis acceleration and the acceleration of the relative system must be treated as forces.
