Coriolis Force 8
Coriolis Force 8 :
Inertia force named after the French engineer and physiscist Gaspard Gustave Coriolis (1792-1843), which describes mechanical processes in rotating reference systems. The C.f. always acts perpendicular to the momentary direction of movement and the axis of rotation defined by the rotation vector. It acts on each mass moving on the Earth surface and results in a rightward drift on the northern hemisphere and a leftward drift on the southern hemisphere. The C. f. needs to be taken into account, e.g., in the analysis of the spectral splitting of free oscillations when investigating lateral in homogeneities of the Earth's structure (See: Lay and Wallace, 1995, p. 162; Aki and Richards, 2002 or 2009, p. 375)
