This formula uses 1 Functions, 5 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
Pressure Gradient - Pressure Gradient describes in which direction and at what rate the pressure increases most rapidly around a particular location.
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.
Latitude of a Position on Earth Surface - (Measured in Radian) - The Latitude of a Position on Earth Surface is the measurement of distance north or south of the Equator.
Current Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Current Velocity is the speed and direction of water flow in a river, ocean, or other bodies of water.
Water Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Water Density is mass per unit of water.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Angular Speed of the Earth: 7.2921159E-05 Radian per Second --> 7.2921159E-05 Radian per Second No Conversion Required
Latitude of a Position on Earth Surface: 20 Degree --> 0.3490658503988 Radian (Check conversion ​here)
Current Velocity: 49.8 Mile per Second --> 80145.3312 Meter per Second (Check conversion ​here)
Water Density: 1000 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1000 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

What is Ocean dynamics?

Ocean dynamics define and describe the motion of water within the oceans. Ocean temperature and motion fields can be separated into three distinct layers: mixed (surface) layer, upper ocean (above the thermocline), and deep ocean. Ocean dynamics has traditionally been investigated by sampling from instruments in situ.
