coriolis

latitude in degrees north (-90 to +90).
  

lat 


  Estimates the coriolis factor, f (in $1/second$), where
  $f = 2*omega*sin(lat)$, where
  $omega = 7.292e-5$ radians/sec, the
  rotation of the earth.


utilities

Datasets, constants, conversion factors, utilities for MArine, Riverine,
Estuarine, LAcustrine and Coastal science.
The package contains among others: (1) chemical and
physical constants and datasets, e.g. atomic weights, gas
constants, the earths bathymetry; (2) conversion factors
(e.g. gram to mol to liter, barometric units,
temperature, salinity); (3) physical functions, e.g. to
estimate concentrations of conservative substances, gas
transfer and diffusion coefficients, the Coriolis force
and gravity; (4) thermophysical properties of the
seawater, as from the UNESCO polynomial or from the more
recent derivation based on a Gibbs function.
