The role of the complete Coriolis force in cross-equatorial transport of abyssal ocean currents

The role of the complete Coriolis force in cross-equatorial transport of abyssal ocean currents

In studies of the ocean it has become conventional to retain only the component of the Coriolis force associated with the radial component of the Earth’s rotation vector, the so-called “traditional approximation”. We investigate the role of the “non-traditional” component of the Coriolis force, corr...
