[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1188158, member: 4191"] I've been lurking on this Forum since 2005. This is by far and away the most informative Thread covering coriolis. It's much easier to activate coriolis functions in the ballistic program than it is to understand it. I find the understanding helpful when it comes time to entering the required data in my program. Smart money is betting heavily that none of us pursued a Bachelor of Arts degree. Eotvos indeed. I recall eotvos while researching coriolis 7-8 years ago, and it was a minor factor in the vertical component of coriolis. I believe the speed of the bullet, direction of travel with or against earth's direction of rotation, centrifugal force due to bullet speed, and gravitational force were all involved. The centrifugal force had a slight effect, additive or subtractive, from gravitational force. The reference article provided the mathematical expression of eotvos, as well as an associated narrative discussion. I tried to find that reference material last night on my PCs, but no such luck. I've replaced my computers since then and couldn't locate anything on the newer PCs using the search functions. My understanding of horizontal coriolis for east/west directions of fire has been restored, thanks to the helpful visuals and discussion that's been provided. Just when I thought this Thread was dying out, it came back to life very positively. Appreciate the collective efforts. [I]Good job to all[/I]! [/QUOTE]
