snek5000.const# Calculate physical constants Functions coriolis_freq(lat) Compute coriolis frequency in the f-plane. snek5000.const.coriolis_freq(lat)[source]# Compute coriolis frequency in the f-plane. \[\begin{split}\omega &= 7.2921150 ± 0.0000001×10^{−5} \, \text{radians per second} \\ f &= 2 \omega \sin(\theta)\end{split}\] See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_rotation#Angular_speed Parameters lat (float) – Latitude in degrees, which gets converted to radians \(\theta\). Returns f – Coriolis frequency in radians per second Return type float
