The deflection of air or water bodies, relative to the solid earth beneath, as a result of the earth's eastward rotation.

The influence of friction and drag on air layers near the earth; deflects air currents to the direction of the earth's rotation.

The tendency of a mass to increase or decrease its angular velocity when its radius of rotation is shortened or lengthened, respectively. In a helicopter, the coriolis effect of the main rotor blades is compensated for by the lead - lag hinges.

the curving motion of wind caused by the Earth's rotation. Air deflects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere.

the rotation of the Earth deflecting movements of air masses between the poles and the equator. Named after French physicist Gaspard de Coriolis.

the deflection sideways of an object moving across the surface of a rotating body caused by the rotation of the body. The coriolis effect makes storms spiral on the Earth and produces the banded cloud layers on the gas giant planets.

The curving motion of anything, including wind, caused by the Earth's rotation.

An effect which changes the apparent horizontal motions of objects moving on a rotating body. In the case of the Earth, objects in the Northern hemisphere seem to veer off to the right of their 'proper' paths, and objects in the Southern hemisphere seem to veer off to the left of their 'proper' paths, as a result of this effect. The effect is a maximum at the poles, and does not exist at the Equator.

a force on moving particles resulting from the earth's rotation; objects are deflected to the right (clockwise) in the Northern hemisphere and to the left (counterclockwise) in the Southern hemisphere.

(physics) an effect whereby a body moving in a rotating frame of reference experiences the Coriolis force acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation; on Earth the Coriolis effect deflects moving bodies to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere

an apparent deflection of a freely moving object caused by the Earth's rotation

Deflection of air flow in the atmosphere which is caused by the rotation of the Earth. In the northern Hemisphere, the deflection is to the right. It is to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. Named after G. G. Coriolis, a French physicist who first discussed this effect in 1844.

It is an an inertial force acting to the right of the direction of body motion for counterclockwise rotation or to the left for clockwise rotation.

tendency of an object moving freely over Earth's surface to curve away from its path of travel; winds in the northern hemisphere curve to the right and in the southern hemisphere curve to the left

The apparent curving motion of anything, such as wind, caused by Earth's rotation. It was first described in 1835 by French scientist Gustave-Gaspard Coriolis.

A force per unit mass that arises solely from the earth's rotation, acting as a deflecting force. It is dependent on the latitude and the speed of the moving object. In the Northern Hemisphere, air is deflected to the right of its path, while in the Southern Hemisphere, air is deflected to the left of its path. It is greatest at the poles, North and South, and almost nonexistent at the equator.

The twisting motion given to moving fluids as a result of the rotation of the earth.

Force due to the Earth's rotation, capable of generating currents. It causes moving bodies to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. The "force" is proportional to the speed and latitude of the moving object. It is zero at the equator and maximum at the poles.

The curving motion of anything, such as air, caused by the rotation of the Earth.

The deflective effect of the earth's rotation on all free-moving objects, including the atmosphere and oceans. To the right in the northern hemisphere and left in the southern hemisphere.

the shift in wind direction to the right or left caused by Earth's rotation

An accelerating force acting on any body moving freely above the earth's surface. Caused by the rotaion of the earth about its axis. The basis for Coriolis Mass Flow Meters.

The tendency for any moving body on or above the earth's surface, such as a water current, to drift sideways from its course because of the earth's rotation. The Coriolis Effect occurs because the speed of a point on the earth's surface is greater for point near the equator than for a point near the poles. In the Northern Hemisphere the deflection is to the right of the motion. Thus saltwater moving north up the Chesapeake Bay is deflected to the east, and freshwater moving south down the Bay is deflected to the west, resulting in higher salinities on the Eastern Shore of Maryland than on the Western Shore at the same latitude.

The deflection of air currents in atmospheric circulation cells due to the rotation of the earth.

The earth's rotation causes air to move in a circular motion

The tendency for any moving body on or above the earth's surface (such as an ocean current) to drift sideways from its course because of the earth's rotation. In the northern hemisphere the deflection is to the right of the motion; in the southern hemisphere it is to the left.

The Coriolis effect is an apparent deflection of a moving object in a rotating frame of reference. This effect is sometimes attributed to the fictitious Coriolis force.
