multimodemodel.f_on_sphere

multimodemodel.f_on_sphere(omega=7.272205e-05)

Return a closure that computes the Coriolis parameter on a sphere.

The Coriolis parameter is computes as

\[f = 2 * \Omega * \sin(\frac{\pi}{180}y)\]

where y is the y-coordinate defined on the grids which is assumed to be in units of degrees north.

Parameters:

omega (float, default 7.272205e-05) – Angular frequency of the rotating sphere. Deafult matches that of Earth.

Returns:
