Angular Speed of Earth for given Coriolis Frequency Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Angular Speed of the Earth = Coriolis Frequency/(2*sin(Earth Station Latitude))
Ω_E = f/(2*sin(λ_e))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sin - Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse., sin(Angle)

Variables Used

Angular Speed of the Earth - (Measured in Radian per Second) - Angular Speed of the Earth is the measure of how fast the central angle of a rotating body changes with respect to time.
Coriolis Frequency - Coriolis Frequency also called the coriolis parameter or coriolis coefficient, is equal to twice the rotation rate Ω of the earth multiplied by the sine of the latitude φ.
Earth Station Latitude - (Measured in Radian) - Earth Station latitude is the coordinates of earth-station.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Coriolis Frequency: 0.0001 --> No Conversion Required
Earth Station Latitude: 43.29 Degree --> 0.755553033188203 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Ω_E = f/(2*sin(λ_e)) --> 0.0001/(2*sin(0.755553033188203))

Evaluating ... ...

Ω_E = 7.29191086179587E-05

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

7.29191086179587E-05 Radian per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

7.29191086179587E-05 ≈ 7.3E-5 Radian per Second <-- Angular Speed of the Earth

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

Wind Speed at Height 10 m given Wind Stress

LaTeX Go Wind Speed at Height of 10 m = sqrt(Wind Stress/(Drag Coefficient*Density of Air))

Drag Coefficient given Wind Stress

LaTeX Go Drag Coefficient = Wind Stress/(Density of Air*Wind Speed at Height of 10 m^2)

Wind Stress

LaTeX Go Wind Stress = Drag Coefficient*Density of Air*Wind Speed at Height of 10 m^2

Drag Coefficient

LaTeX Go Drag Coefficient = 0.00075+(0.000067*Wind Speed at Height of 10 m)

Angular Speed of Earth for given Coriolis Frequency Formula

LaTeX Go

Angular Speed of the Earth = Coriolis Frequency/(2*sin(Earth Station Latitude))
Ω_E = f/(2*sin(λ_e))

What is Wind Stress?

In Physical Oceanography and Fluid Dynamics, the wind stress is the shear stress exerted by the wind on the surface of large bodies of water – such as oceans, seas, estuaries and lakes. It is the force component parallel to the surface, per unit area, as applied by the wind on the water surface.
