coriolisf

Returns Coriolis parameter as a function of latitude.

This is a simple function that returns the Coriolis frequency as a function of latitude. You can enter longitude too if you'd like, but the lon variable goes unused. This function does little more than save you a trip to Wikipedia for the reminder the Omega equals 7.2921 x 10^-5 rad/s.

Syntax
f = coriolisf(lat)
f = coriolisf(lat,lon)

Description
f = coriolisf(lat) returns the Coriolis frequency in radians per second for point(s) at latitude(s) lat.

f = coriolisf(lat,lon) It can be weird to use latitudes while completely ignoring corresponding longitudes. If it makes you feel better to enter the longitude, go ahead, be my guest. Or you can ignore longitude. That's completely up to you.
