earthkit.meteo.wind.fieldlist.coriolis

earthkit.meteo.wind.fieldlist.coriolis(data)

Compute the Coriolis parameter.

Parameters:

data (FieldList|Field) – FieldList or Field for which to compute the Coriolis parameter. The latitude values are taken from the latitude/longitude representation of each field.

Returns:

The Coriolis parameter (\(s^{-1}\)). The result has the same type as the input (FieldList or Field).

Return type:

FieldList|Field

Notes

The Coriolis parameter is defined by the following formula:

\[f = 2 \Omega sin(\phi)\]

where \(\Omega\) is the rotation rate of Earth (see earthkit.meteo.constants.omega) and \(\phi\) is the latitude.
