Coriolis Force pseudo-force introduced to account for motion that takes place on a rotating Earth, to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and left in the Southern Hemisphere... 

In 1926 the Michelson-Gale experiment was confirmed by Pogany [14], who determined the surface velocity of the rotating earth by a closed optical... 

The excess heating in the tropical regions of the earth, relative to other regions, causes rising air over the tropics. This warm air moves both north and south. Due to the rotating earth, the northward moving air is deflected to the right and becomes a westerly flow, thus the northward flow is slowed and air piles up...

By equating uniform and circular motion it is natural for the earth to move in a circle, not an ellipse, but without a law of gravitation Galileo could never present a coherent discussion of centrifugal effects. Objects kept on flying away from the rotating earth as from a potter s wheel. 

Atmospheric mesoscale models are based on a set of conservation equations for velocity, heat, density, water, and other trace atmospheric gases and aerosols. The equation of state used in these equations is the ideal law. The conservation-of-velocity equation is derived from Newton s second law of motion (F = ma) as applied to the rotating earth. The conservation-of-heat equation is derived from the first law of thermodynamics. The remaining conservation equations are written as a change in an atmospheric variable (e.g., water) in a Lagrangian framework where sources and sinks are identified.
