Coriolis parameter

Computes coriolis parameter for latitudes using [Wallace2006] (pg. 277),

\[f = 2 \Omega \sin( \phi )\]

where \(\Omega\) is the earth’s angular velocity and \(\phi\) is the latitude.

Parameters:

latitude (DataArray) – Array of latitude to compute the coriolis parameter

Return type:

DataArray
