[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 248282, member: 1007"] I could be off base here. Perhaps I need to do a bit more research. However, below is one link to support what I was trying to explain. [url=http://encyclopedia.farlex.com/Coriolus+force]Coriolus force - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Coriolus force[/url] And another referance. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_effect]Coriolis effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] Another good reference. [url=http://www.usatoday.com/weather/resources/basics/coriolis-understanding.htm]USATODAY.com[/url] In simple terms, as air begins flowing from high to low pressure, the Earth rotates under it, making the wind follow a curved path. In the Northern Hemisphere, the wind turns to the right of its direction of motion. In the Southern Hemisphere, it turns to the left. The Coriolis force is zero at the equator. You might be wondering: If the Coriolis force turns winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere, why do winds go counterclockwise around large systems, such as hurricanes, north of the equator? This happens because Coriolis is only one of the forces acting on air to cause winds. In simple terms, in the Northern Hemisphere, while the Coriolis force is pushing the wind toward the right, the pressure-gradient force, caused by air pressure differences, is pushing the air toward the center of the area of low pressure, and for various reasons is stronger then the Coriolis force.
