a Coriolis tutorial
This material is intended to supplement the treatment of Earth's rotation and the Coriolis force that is given in introductory courses on geophysical fluid dynamics. There are scripts that solve for the motion of a dense particle on a rotating slope and for the geostrophic adjustment that occurs in a rotating, shallow water model. The latter can include a spatially varying Coriolis parameter (beta effect).
A three-part essay that accompanies this material is the motivation for these scripts.
