- geostrophic force
- Definição1
- Apparent inertial force acting on body moving with radial velocity within a rotating reference system. Such a force is necessary if Newtonian mechanics are to be applicable. On Earth, ** acts perpendicular to direction of travel, towards right in N hemisphere and towards left in S hemisphere.

- Nota adicional1
- Acceleration caused by Coriolis force affects the aeroplane’s test weight. Coriolis force results from the effect on the aeroplane of the rotation of the Earth. The reference Coriolis force is based on the aeroplane travelling in the direction of true North.
- Contexto
