f = 2*ΩE*sin(λe)
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

Coriolis Frequency Formula

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

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.
