Latitude given Coriolis Frequency Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Earth Station Latitude = asin(Coriolis Frequency/(2*Angular Speed of the Earth))
λ_e = asin(f/(2*Ω_E))
This formula uses 2 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)
asin - The inverse sine function, is a trigonometric function that takes a ratio of two sides of a right triangle and outputs the angle opposite the side with the given ratio., asin(Number)

Variables Used

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

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Coriolis Frequency: 0.0001 --> No Conversion Required
Angular Speed of the Earth: 7.2921159E-05 Radian per Second --> 7.2921159E-05 Radian per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

λ_e = asin(f/(2*Ω_E)) --> asin(0.0001/(2*7.2921159E-05))

Evaluating ... ...

λ_e = 0.755526545915042

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.755526545915042 Radian -->43.288482391037 Degree (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

43.288482391037 ≈ 43.28848 Degree <-- Earth Station Latitude

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)

Latitude given Coriolis Frequency Formula

LaTeX Go

Earth Station Latitude = asin(Coriolis Frequency/(2*Angular Speed of the Earth))
λ_e = asin(f/(2*Ω_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.

What does Coriolis mean?

Coriolis is an apparent force that as a result of the earth's rotation deflects moving objects (such as projectiles or air currents) to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere.

How to Calculate Latitude given Coriolis Frequency?

Latitude given Coriolis Frequency calculator uses Earth Station Latitude = asin(Coriolis Frequency/(2*Angular Speed of the Earth)) to calculate the Earth Station Latitude, The Latitude given Coriolis Frequency is defined as the angular distance of a place north or south of the earth's equator. Earth Station Latitude is denoted by λ_e symbol.

How to calculate Latitude given Coriolis Frequency using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Latitude given Coriolis Frequency, enter Coriolis Frequency (f) & Angular Speed of the Earth (Ω_E) and hit the calculate button.
