Coriolis Frequency Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

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.
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.
Earth Station Latitude - (Measured in Radian) - Earth Station latitude is the coordinates of earth-station.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Angular Speed of the Earth: 7.2921159E-05 Radian per Second --> 7.2921159E-05 Radian per Second No Conversion Required
Earth Station Latitude: 43.29 Degree --> 0.755553033188203 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

f = 2*Ω_E*sin(λ_e) --> 2*7.2921159E-05*sin(0.755553033188203)

Evaluating ... ...

f = 0.000100002811858346

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.000100002811858346 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.000100002811858346 ≈ 0.0001 <-- Coriolis Frequency

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)

Coriolis Frequency Formula

LaTeX Go

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

How to Calculate Coriolis Frequency?

Coriolis Frequency calculator uses Coriolis Frequency = 2*Angular Speed of the Earth*sin(Earth Station Latitude) to calculate the Coriolis Frequency, The Coriolis Frequency formula is defined as angular frequency of Earth's rotation affecting moving objects, inducing deflection due to inertia in atmospheric and oceanic systems. Coriolis Frequency is denoted by f symbol.
