Latitude given Coriolis Frequency Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Earth Station Latitude = asin(Coriolis Frequency/(2*Angular Speed of the Earth))
λe = asin(f/(2*ΩE))
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
λe = asin(f/(2*ΩE)) --> asin(0.0001/(2*7.2921159E-05))
Evaluating ... ...
λe = 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

Latitude given Magnitude of Horizontal Component of Coriolis Acceleration
Go Earth Station Latitude = asin(Horizontal Component of Coriolis Acceleration/(2*Angular Speed of the Earth*Horizontal Speed across the Earth’s Surface))
Horizontal Speed across Earth's Surface given Horizontal Component of Coriolis Acceleration
Go Horizontal Speed across the Earth’s Surface = Horizontal Component of Coriolis Acceleration/(2*Angular Speed of the Earth*sin(Earth Station Latitude))
Magnitude of Horizontal Component of Coriolis Acceleration
Go Horizontal Component of Coriolis Acceleration = 2*Angular Speed of the Earth*sin(Earth Station Latitude)*Horizontal Speed across the Earth’s Surface
Wind Speed at Height 10 m given Wind Stress
Go Wind Speed at Height of 10 m = sqrt(Wind Stress/(Drag Coefficient*Density of Air))
Coriolis Frequency given Horizontal Component of Coriolis Acceleration
Go Coriolis Frequency = Horizontal Component of Coriolis Acceleration/Horizontal Speed across the Earth’s Surface
Horizontal Speed across Earth's Surface given Coriolis Frequency
Go Horizontal Speed across the Earth’s Surface = Horizontal Component of Coriolis Acceleration/Coriolis Frequency
Horizontal Component of Coriolis Acceleration

Go Drag Coefficient = 0.00075+(0.000067*Wind Speed at Height of 10 m)

Latitude given Coriolis Frequency Formula

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

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.
