Coriolis Frequency given Horizontal Component of Coriolis Acceleration Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Coriolis Frequency = Horizontal Component of Coriolis Acceleration/Horizontal Speed across the Earth’s Surface
f = a_C/U
This formula uses 3 Variables

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.
Horizontal Component of Coriolis Acceleration - Horizontal Component of Coriolis Acceleration is defined as the acceleration due to the rotation of the earth, experienced by particles (water parcels, for example) moving along the earth's surface.
Horizontal Speed across the Earth’s Surface - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Horizontal Speed across the Earth’s Surface is defined as the velocity of a motion problem deals with motion in the x direction.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Horizontal Component of Coriolis Acceleration: 4 --> No Conversion Required
Horizontal Speed across the Earth’s Surface: 24.85 Mile per Second --> 39992.1984 Meter per Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

f = a_C/U --> 4/39992.1984

Evaluating ... ...

f = 0.000100019507804802

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 given Horizontal Component of Coriolis Acceleration Formula

LaTeX Go

Coriolis Frequency = Horizontal Component of Coriolis Acceleration/Horizontal Speed across the Earth’s Surface
f = a_C/U

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.

What is Coriolis acceleration?

Coriolis acceleration is the acceleration due to the rotation of the earth, experienced by particles (water parcels, for example) moving along the earth's surface. Ocean currents are influenced by Coriolis acceleration.
