oceanspy.utils.Coriolis_parameter
- oceanspy.utils.Coriolis_parameter(Y, omega=7.2921e-05)[source]
Compute Coriolis parameter (both vertical and horizontal components).
\[(f, e) = (\hat{\mathbf{z}}\cdot \left(2\mathbf{\Omega}\right), \hat{\mathbf{y}}\cdot\left(2\mathbf{\Omega}\right)) = (2|\mathbf{\Omega}|\sin{\theta}, 2|\mathbf{\Omega}|\cos{\theta})\]- Parameters:
- Y: _xr.DataArray or array_like
Y coordinate (latitude)
- omega: scalar
Rotation rate of Earth (rad/s)
- Returns:
- f: _xr.DataArray or array_like
Vertical component of the Earth’s rotation vector
- e: _xr.DataArray or array_like
Horizontal component of the Earth’s rotation vector
