1 History of Meteorology 2 (2005) 1 The Coriolis Effect: Four centuries of conflict between common sense and mathematics, Part I: A history to 1885 Anders O. Persson Department for research and development Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute SE Norrköping, Sweden The deflective force due to the earth s rotation, which is the key to the explanation of many phenomena in connection with the winds and the currents of the ocean, does not seem to be understood by meteorologists and writers on physical geography William Ferrel 1 Introduction: the 1905 debate One hundred years ago the German journal Annalen der Physik, the same 1905 volume in which Albert Einstein published his first five ground breaking articles, provided a forum for a debate between three physicists, A. Denizot, M.P. Rudzki and L. Tesa on the correct interpretation of the Coriolis force 2. The debate was complicated by many side issues, but the main problem was this: if the Foucault pendulum was oscillating, as it was often assumed 3, with its plane of swing fixed relative to the stars, why then was not the period the same, 23 hours and 56 minutes, everywhere on earth and not only at the poles? Instead it was 28 hours in Helsinki, 30 hours in Paris and 48 hours in Casablanca, i.e. the sidereal day divided by the sine of latitude. At the equator the period was infinite; there was no deflection. This could only mean that the plane of swing indeed was turning relative the stars. But how could then, as it was assumed, a fictitious inertial force be responsible for the turning? One hundred years later, Einstein s five papers published in 1905 in Annalen der Physik are commonly used in undergraduate physics education whereas teachers and students, just like Denizot, Rudzki and Tesa, still struggle to come to terms with the Coriolis effect. This essay will sketch the complex and contradictory historical development of understanding the Coriolis Effect to about The continuing confusion since then is another story, but is undoubtedly related to our Aristotelian common sense. The reader s attention is directed to the copious endnotes for additional details.
2 Coriolis Effect Four centuries of conflict 2 The Coriolis effect the basic mathematics At the outset it seems appropriate to remind ourselves what is generally agreed on with respect to the deflective mechanism in rotating systems. A mass particle (m) that is stationary in a rotating system ( ) at a distance R from the center of rotation, appears to an observer taking part in the rotation, to be affected by a centrifugal force C = - m( ( R). If the particle is not stationary but moves (V r ) relative to the rotating system, it appears to be affected by an additional force F = -2m V r. The cross product indicates that F is perpendicular both to the relative motion V r and to the rotational axis. For this reason, and not only because the force is inertial, the Coriolis force does not do any work, i.e. it does not change the speed (kinetic energy) of the body, only the direction of its motion. The statement that the Coriolis force does not do any work should not be misunderstood to mean that it doesn t do anything 4. The cross product also tells us that only motions, or components of motions, perpendicular to are deflected. This will help us to explain why the Coriolis force on a rotating planet varies with the sine of latitude, F= -2m sin V r, the sine law. Since the Coriolis force is perpendicular to V r a body in constant relative horizontal motion is driven into a circular path, or inertia circle, with radius R=V r /2 and a period of = /. At latitude 43º where 2 sin is approximately equal to 10-4 s -1, a motion of 10 m/s would correspond to an inertia circle of 100 km radius. The clearest example in nature of the Coriolis effect is inertia oscillations in the oceans (fig.1). Other clear examples involve equatorial upwelling, Taylor columns, gyroscopes and Lagrange points 5. Fig. 1. Drifting buoys set in motion by strong winds tend, when the wind has decreased, to move under inertia and follow approximately inertia circles in the case of steady ocean currents, cycloids. The example is taken from oceanographic measurements taken in summer 1969 in the Baltic Sea just southeast of Stockholm (Courtesy Barry Broman at the oceanographic department at SMHI).
3 History of Meteorology 2 (2005) 3 In contrast to normal inertia, which resists changes in a body s motion, the Coriolis inertial force resists displacements by trying to return the body by a circular motion to the origin (fig. 2). Any mathematical derivation or intuitive explanations of the Coriolis force, which is in conflict with the notion of the inertia circle motion, is therefore misleading, incomplete or wrong. Fig. 2. a) The Coriolis force tends to restore a body to its initial position. This hinders the geographical displacement of air masses. The vortices and jet streams are the consequences of two opposing forces, one (the pressure gradient force) trying to equalize large-scale density contrasts, the other (the Coriolis force) trying to restore them. b) Due to the latitudinal variation of the Coriolis force, the inertia circles are actually spirals transporting mass westward, the so-called -effect. As a consequence of this latitudinal variation the inertial horizontal motion will be more curved in higher latitudes than in lower and lead to a westward migration of successive inertial evolutions. This -effect accounts partly for the dynamics of large-scale planetary (Rossby) waves and the asymmetry of the Gulf Stream. But the Coriolis effect is only one part of a three dimensional deflective mechanism discovered and discussed at separate historical epochs: 1. the horizontal deflection of vertical motion in the 17 th and early 19 th century, 2. the vertical deflection of horizontal motion (the Eötvös effect) in the late 19 th and early 20 th century, and 3. the horizontal deflection of horizontal motion (the Coriolis effect) from the early18 th century until our times. Let us consider each of these mechanisms in greater detail.
4 Coriolis Effect Four centuries of conflict 4 Horizontal deflection of vertical motion During the 17 th century the possible deflection of falling objects was considered a means of proving or disproving the Copernican theory that Earth rotates and not the stars. The debate became known in England through a memorandum by David Gregory in In November 1679 Robert Hooke, in his capacity as newly elected Secretary of the Royal Society, tried to draw Isaac Newton into a discussion on the motions of the planets and comets. But Newton had something else on his mind, a fancy of my own, that the horizontal deflection of objects dropped from a high altitude could stand as proof of the Earth's rotation. Newton had just returned from a long vacation at his family home in Lincolnshire where he might have been inspired by watching apples fall in the garden 6. The exchange of letters that followed during the winter shows that Newton had not yet ascquired a deeper understanding of celestial mechanics. His first idea was that a falling object would follow a trajectory that, in principle, approaches the centre of the earth in a spiral. Thanks to Hooke, he came to realize that that the fall of the body must be treated as an elliptic orbit with the centre of the Earth in one of its foci (fig. 3). Fig. 3. a) Newton s first intuitive idea was that the trajectory of a falling object would spiral towards the centre of the earth, b) just considering conservation of absolute velocity would result in a parabolic path (dashed line), while the true trajectory would be an ellipse (solid line). From the insight that a falling object in absolute space follows the same type of orbit as any of the planets or comets around the Sun, it was possible for Newton to infer that the motions of all terrestrial and extra-terrestrial bodies might be controlled by the same mechanism, universal gravitation. When Newton was looking for what we would now call the Coriolis effect, he found the laws of motion 7. More than a century after Newton, in 1803, an experiment was conducted in Schlebusch, Germany that attracted the interest of the scientific community. Twenty-nine iron pebbles were dropped into a 90-meter deep mineshaft. The average deflection was estimated to be 8.5 mm. Before the event the 24-year Carl Friedrich Gauss and the 53-year Pierre Simon de Laplace volunteered to calculate the theoretically expected deflection. Both came up with an expected deflection of 8.8 mm by deriving the full three-dimensional equation for motions on a rotating earth. They specifically pointed out what mechanisms were responsible for the deflection. Gauss and Laplace must therefore be regarded as the first scientists to contribute to the
5 History of Meteorology 2 (2005) 5 understanding of the Coriolis effect and the proof of the rotation of the earth. In 1831 the experiment was repeated in a m deep mine in Freiburg, Saxony. From 106 drops an average deflection of 28.3 mm was estimated, close to the theoretical value of 27.5 mm 8. Well into the 20 th century there was a controversy over a possible slight southward deflection, which turned up in some experiments and derivations. The heart of the matter depends on how we define vertical. Due to the non-spherical shape of the Earth the upper part of a plumb line is at a slightly (very slightly!) higher latitude than the plumb itself 9. Vertical deflection of horizontal motion (The Eötvös Effect) In the early twentieth century a German team from the Institute of Geodesy in Potsdam carried out gravity measurements on moving ships in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans. While studying the results the Hungarian nobleman and physicist Lorand Roland Eötvös ( ) noticed that the readings were lower when the boat moved eastwards, higher when it moved westward. He identified this as primarily a consequence of the rotation of the earth. To demonstrate the effect, Eötvös constructed a balance with a horizontal axis, where, instead of pans, weights are attached to the end of the arms. When the balance is rotated the weight moving towards the west will become heavier, the one moving towards the east lighter and will deflect from its state of equilibrium. This proof of the earth s rotation is perhaps of greater significance than Foucault s pendulum experiment since it also works on the equator. In 1908 new measurements were made in the Black Sea on two ships, one moving eastward and one westward (fig. 4). The results substantiated Eötvös' claim. Since then geodesists use the correction formula 2 2 u + v a r = 2 u cos + where a r is the relative acceleration, R is the radius of the earth. The first term is the vertical Coriolis effect, the second term reflects the upward centrifugal effect of moving over any spherical surface, also non-rotating ones. R Fig. 4. The Eötvös effect measured by a French research vessel in the South Indian Ocean. The ship is first moving slowly in a westerly direction (16), then faster westward (17), and finally slowly eastward (18). The units on the y-axis indicate gravity and are inversely proportional to the ship s weight.

6 Coriolis Effect Four centuries of conflict 6 The possible relevance of the Eötvös effect for meteorology was discussed ten years before Eötvös discovery. In the Swedish meteorologist Nils Ekholm hypothesized that the vertical deflection of horizontal motion played an important role in atmospheric dynamics 10. Horizontal deflection of horizontal motion (before Coriolis) In 1735 George Hadley ( ) suggested that, since the surface of the earth at the equator moved faster than the surface at higher latitudes, air that moved towards the equator would gradually lag behind and be observed as a NE wind north of the equator and a SE wind south of the equator (fig. 5). Hadley s model, although a great step forward for its time, is incorrect for three reasons: 1. Bodies moving under frictionless conditions on the surface of a rotating planet will not conserve their absolute velocity. 2. Even if they did, Hadley s scenario will mathematically explain only half the Coriolis force. 3. Finally, Hadley s explanation suggests that the deflection only occurs for meridional motion. The fact that the observed winds in the Tropics were only a fraction of what Hadley s model suggested, was explained by the effect of friction. Fig. 5. Two erroneous images of the deflection mechanism: a) conservation of absolute velocity and b) motion along great circles. The latter appears to work for eastward motion, but not for westward motion. Some years after Hadley, in 1742, the French mathematician A.C. Clairaut ( ) discussed the deflection of relative motion on a flat rotating platform, also in terms of conservation of absolute velocity. He therefore obtained the same underestimation as Hadley. 11 Pierre Simone Laplace ( ) is often considered to be the true discoverer of the Coriolis effect since his papers on the equations of motion on a rotating planet contain the 2 -term 12. But Laplace did not make any correct physical interpretation of this term. On the contrary, in his physical explanations of the Trade winds he used Hadley s erroneous model 13.
7 History of Meteorology 2 (2005) 7 It is not clear if Laplace in knew about Hadley s 1735 paper or if he independently had reached the same common sense explanation. It is normally thought that Hadley s paper lay dormant till the end of the 18 th century when John Dalton ( ) championed it in According to Dalton the Swiss scientist Jean André De Luc ( ), who lived in England, had thought along the same lines some 15 years earlier 14. Hadley s explanation was later adopted by the German meteorologist Heinrich W. Dove ( ) and became known as the Dove-Hadley theory. Dove gained his reputation from his Law of the wind turning (Drehungsgesetz) according to which the wind locally tended to change from S to W to N to E to S, i.e. locally to the right. This law only reflected the climatological fact that most cyclones travel eastward. In 1843 the American Charles Tracy tried to show that the deflection was also valid for east-west motion. Erroneously, he thought the spherical shape of the earth was the prime reason for the deflection. He therefore argued that inertial motion should follow a great circle and for that reason eastward motion deviated to the south, to the right. 15 Tracy evaded the embarrassing fact that that his model suggests that westward motion is deflected to the left (fig. 5b). Gaspard Gustave Coriolis and his force At the start of the Industrial Revolution a radical and patriotic movement developed in France to promote technical development by educating workers, craftsmen and engineers in mechanique rationelle. Gaspard Gustave Coriolis ( ), a well-respected teacher at l Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, published in 1829 a textbook which presented mechanics in a way that could be used by industry. Here we find for the first time the correct expression for kinetic energy, mv 2 /2. Two years later he established the relation between potential and kinetic energy in a rotating system 16. In 1835 Coriolis published the paper that would make his name famous: Sur les equations du mouvement relatif des systemes de corps, where the deflective force explicitly appears. The problem Coriolis set out to solve was related to the design of certain types of machines with separate parts, moving relative to the rotation. Coriolis showed that the total inertial force is the sum of two inertial forces, the common centrifugal force 2 R and the compound centrifugal force 2 V r, the Coriolis force (fig.6) 17. This is in agreement with the standard equation ma r = ma 2m V r - m ( R) where the last two terms for inertial motion (ma=0) represents the total inertial force. Coriolis was not as interested in his force as much as we are. He only valued it in combination with the common centrifugal force. In this view the Coriolis force is the difference between two inertial forces, or rather the part of the total inertial force, which is not explained by the common centrifugal force (fig.6).
8 Coriolis Effect Four centuries of conflict 8 Fig. 6. An object fixed to a rotating platform follows a curved trajectory and is affected by a total inertial force, which is the common centrifugal force. The body can move along the same trajectory, also as a consequence of a combination of the rotation and the motion relative the platform. The total inertial force is the same, but is now the sum of the common centrifugal force and the Coriolis force. French investigations before and after the Foucault experiment 1851 Coriolis 1835 paper directly influenced Simon P. Poisson ( ) who, a few years later, made an analysis on the deflection of artillery shells 18. Coriolis and Poisson s papers were highly mathematical, however, and were not easily accessible. In 1847 the French mathematician Joseph L. F. Bertrand ( ) suggested to the French Academy a simplified derivation. He made two common sense, but erroneous, assumptions: a) conservation of absolute velocity and b) the deflective acceleration on a rotating turntable is constant and only due to the Coriolis effect 19. The first assumption underestimates the Coriolis effect and the second overestimates it - so the errors cancel out (fig.7). Bertrand s derivation became popular and entered meteorology in the 1880s. If we today are grappling to understand the Coriolis effect, one source of confusion is this simple but deceptive derivation, which appears to justify two frequent misconceptions. On pages 6 and in his 1838 paper Poisson ruled out any effect on a swinging pendulum. This was refuted by Foucault's historical pendulum experiment in 1851, which is often quoted as a clear observational evidence of the Coriolis effect, since it is thought that the swing of plane is fixed versus the stars. As discussed above, the plane of swing indeed turns versus the stars. That means that a real force is doing work, the component of gravitation perpendicular to. Only at the poles is this component zero 20.
9 History of Meteorology 2 (2005) 9 Fig. 7. Joseph Bertrand and his simplified derivation. An object on a turntable at a distance R from the centre of rotation is moving radially outwards with a constant speed V r = R/ t. Due to the rotation the object is subject to a deflective tangential acceleration a, which is assumed constant. The deflected distance S during t can be expressed both as S=a( t) 2 /2 and S= R t which yields a=2 V r. Anyone looking for a simplified derivation would have been wise to consult the British mathematician O Brien, one of the early proponents of vector notations. He made in April 1852 what seems to be the first algebraic derivation of the Coriolis force by making use of the relation da da dr dr = + Ù A which applied on a position vector R yields = + Ù R or dt dt r dt dt V = Vr + Ù R and applied on a velocity vector dr V = yields dt d V dv dv d( Ù r) = + Ù V = r + + Ù V + Ù ( Ù r) r which dt dt r dt r dt r simplifies into dv dv dv dv = + 2Ù Vr + Ù ( Ù r) and = 2Ù Vr Ù ( Ù r) dt dt r dt r dt where the term -2 V r in O Brien s words, was the force which must be supposed to act as a correction for the neglected rotation 21. The mechanical and geophysical debates around 1860 In autumn 1859 the French Academy had a comprehensive debate about the effects of the earth s rotation on terrestrial motion. The triggering factor seems to have been a inference by the Baltic-German naturalist Karl Ernst von Baer ( ) that the meandering of the northsouth running Siberian rivers was due to the rotation of the earth 22. Von Baer, who was a firm believer in the Hadley-Dove model, rejected any notion that the rotation of the earth had any effect on the rivers which flow from east to west. The French Academy had problems in tallying r r
10 Coriolis Effect Four centuries of conflict 10 this with the meandering of east-west flowing rivers like the Seine and Loire. It might have been the meanders of their own rivers that sowed the first seeds of doubt in French minds about the correctness of Hadley s model. Jacques Babinet ( ) admitted that everybody and first of all he had been completely wrong not to realize that the deflective mechanism worked for all directions, not just north-south. Joseph Bertrand, on the other hand, denied there was any deflection of eastwest motion. Babinet tried to derive the deflection of east-west motion, but made an error and only got V r sin, half of the correct value. Charles E. Delaunay ( ), a prestigious astronomer and author of an influential textbook in mechanics, then made a comprehensive pedagogic presentation. He reminded the audience that the weight of a stationary body was the combination of the gravitational attraction and the centrifugal effect of the earth s rotation. But when the body moved relative to the earth things change completely : The compound centrifugal force goes to combine its effect with the one that is due to the effect of the weight of the body. And the result thereof in the movement are the changes which reveal to us the existence of the rotation of the earth. Delaunay showed, in part by quoting Coriolis 1835 paper, that the deflection worked in all directions and was proportional to 2, double the angular velocity. He also suggested that flowing water in a canal would have an inclined surface with a higher level on the right side. The incorrigible Bertrand found the concept of fictitious force useless since it could not explain real causes. He was also critical of Delaunay s explanation of gravity and finally called out that everybody seemed to admit the absence of any measurable influence of the earth s rotation on the flow of water. Guillame Piobert ( ) reminded the audience about Poisson s 1838 work, which showed that the deflection was to the right. Babinet listed the Foucault s pendulum, the deflection of projectiles, falling objects and many other physical examples of the deflective mechanism. One was the effect of the wind on a lake, that according to Mr. Foucault s law, tends to impose a movement always directed in the same direction, independent of the direction of the wind 23. Both Babinet, and after him Charles Combes ( ), presented an expression for the inclination of river surfaces which was essentially the geostrophic balance (fig.8). Combes introduced the concept of inertia circle and showed that that at 45 latitude a 3 m/s motion would move around in a circle of 29 kilometers radius 24. Fig. 8. The slope of the surface of river with a flow V is proportional, per unit mass, to the Coriolis force (fv) and the weight of the water (g), which yields the geostrophic relation V=g/f dz/dx.
11 History of Meteorology 2 (2005) 11 The French discussions on deflection of flowing water in rivers are related to the problem of the sideways acceleration of constrained motion, like trains on rails. This was taken up by the Austrian-Russian scientist Nikolai D. Braschmann ( ) and promoted by the German professor Georg Adolph Erman ( ) 25. William Ferrel and the geophysical implications of Foucault s experiment At this time an unknown schoolteacher in Nashville, Tennessee, USA applied the equations of motion on a rotating sphere to meteorological problems, in particular the global circulation. William Ferrel ( ) a farmer s son from Pennsylvania was in his late 30s when two books challenged him to venture into a new direction. One was Laplace s Mechanique Celeste; the other was Matthew F. Maury s 1855 Physical Geography of the Sea which Ferrel found unscientific. In 1856 Ferrel argued, in the first of a series of articles, that the motion of the atmosphere was governed by four mechanisms: the change of density distribution due to differential heating, the flow of air from high pressure to low pressure and the two forces due to the earth s rotation, both known to Ferrel from Laplace s tidal equations. One of these forces Ferrel recognized from Hadley s theory, about which the reader was no doubt familiar. He had not yet discovered Hadley s error in assuming conservation of absolute motion and only criticized him for having disregarded the deflection of east-west motion. Ferrel identified a new force as the unbalanced centrifugal force due to the combination of the earth s eastward rotation and any east-west relative motion. Ferrel s two forces we today know as the east-west and the north-south components of the Coriolis effect. Due to an erroneous derivation or misunderstanding of Laplace s equations, Ferrel had got the impression that first force was smaller than the second by a factor of cos. Any misinterpretations were soon rectified in two brief papers published in The Astronomical Journal in January 1858 where he correctly derived expressions for the deflective mechanism in all three dimensions. He stated what became known as Ferrel s Law : If a body is moving in any direction, there is a force arising from the earth s rotation, which always deflects it to the right in the northern hemisphere, and to the left on the southern. He briefly discussed the deflection of projectiles and established that falling objects only deviate in the eastwest direction. Ferrel seems to be the first scientist to identify the inertia circle motion: If a body receives a motion in any direction, it describes the circumference of a circle, if the range of motion is small, the radius of which is determined by [V/2 sin ]; and the time of its performing a revolution is equal to the time of the earth s rotation divided by twice the sine of the latitude. He realized that the larger the range of motion, the more it deviates from a circle. But from the fact that the curve must always be symmetrical on each side of the central median, he wrongly assumed that the body would return to the point from which it started, and thus did not discover the west drift caused by the -effect. One year later Ferrel published a detailed mathematical derivation not only of the deflective mechanism but also of the possible consequences for the general circulation of the atmosphere. At the end he makes the important observation that the effect of the earth s rotation is to constrain the air mass flow by inertia circle motion, in particular holding back the exchange between lower and higher latitudes:
12 Coriolis Effect Four centuries of conflict 12 The motion towards the poles in the upper regions causes an eastward motion which gives rise to a force toward the equator, and which, consequently, counteracts the motion toward the poles, and the motion toward the equator produces a westward motion which gives rise to a force acting in the direction of the poles, which counteracts the motion toward the equator. From this insight he was able to infer that if the rotation decreased there would be a sweeping hurricane from the pole to the equator. He also ascribed the maximum accumulation of the atmosphere near the parallel of 30 (the subtropical highs) to the heaping up of the atmosphere 26. Growing opposition to the Hadley model, By 1860 it was mathematically established that the deflective effect of the earth s rotation was 2 Vsin, that it worked in all directions, and that it drew a moving body into an inertial circle with radius V r /2 sin. Still, Hadley s explanation dominated the literature, in particular in Germany where H.W. Dove was still supreme. But the criticism was growing. In 1869 Adolph Mühry ( ) rejected the prevailing mathematical conception of deflection due to meridional rotation differences, since they were based on inertial motion from an impulse and did not consider the real physical processes. According to Mühry, One cannot compare the motions of the air with a fired cannonball. 27 In the 1860 s Ferrel s work started to become noticed in Europe. Dove, who could not distinguish between local and individual derivatives, claimed that his law, which indicated a local turning to the right of the wind, was consistent with Ferrel s law. Some questioned if the rotation of the earth had any influence on the weather at all since the Hadley-Dove explanation predicted 40 m/s easterly winds at the equator. A great step forward in the development of meteorology in Germany was the founding of the Deutsche Seewarte in Hamburg in Its first director Georg von Neumayer ( ) encouraged the Norwegian meteorologist Henrik Mohn ( ) to issue a German edition of his book Om vind og Vejr. When Mohn in 1876, together with his countryman C.W. Guldberg, published Études sur les Mouvements de l Atmosphère, Julius Hann ( ), editor of the Vienna-based Zeitschrift für Meteorologie, requested and was given a more accessible German version. In 1877 Professor Joseph Finger at University of Vienna set out to derive the equations of motion on a non-spherical, spheroid earth. In 1877 Carl Benoni, professor in Lemberg (then in Austrian Poland, later Lwow in Poland and now Lviv in Ukraine) in defense of Dove, stated that Ferrel s Law was obviously incorrect. It was, according to Benoni, completely clear that, when the air flows along any latitude circle on the earth s surface, the rotational speed does not change and consequently there can be no deflection due to the earth s rotation 28. Two years later, in 1879, Dove died and it is perhaps no coincidence that the first attempt to seriously question the Dove-Hadley s explanation now saw the light of day in Germany. By this time Köppen was director of the research department at Deutsche Seewarte, which became the leading centre for synoptic and dynamic meteorology. One of their scientists was Adolf Sprung ( ), who rose to become the leading theoretician in meteorology.
13 Adolph Sprung s contributions History of Meteorology 2 (2005) 13 In Adolph Sprung made three contributions to the understanding of the Coriolis effect. 29 He succeeded in that which Ferrel had failed to do: make the correct interpretation of the latitudinal dependence of the Coriolis force resulting in a westward spiraling trajectory (fig. 9). Fig. 9. Inertial motion, away from the equatorial region, according to, from left to right Sprung (1879), Whipple (1917) and Paldor (1988). 30 Sprung generalized the concept of the Coriolis force by showing it to be, in the spirit of Coriolis (1835), but probably unaware of his work, an extension of the centrifugal force. He did so by deriving the equations for a relative motion on a flat turntable. He then gave the turntable a parabolic form and showed how this neutralized the common centrifugal force and left only the Coriolis force driving the moving object into inertial circles (fig. 10). 31 Fig. 10. Absolute and relative motion of a ball in a parabolic shaped turntable rotating anti-clockwise. a) A ball, stationary in the rotating system, appears from outside to be moving in a circle (full line); b) the ball has been given an impetus and is in the rotating system moving in an clockwise inertia circle, from outside it appears to be moving in an ellipse. (The vertical movement of the ball is neglected since it introduces a slow anticlockwise precession of the ellipse).
14 Coriolis Effect Four centuries of conflict 14 Sprung then considered a rotating spheroid and showed that, although the centrifugal force 2 1 R changed by a factor 1 2 sin 2 ( = the eccentricity), the Coriolis force was not affected. Since a component of gravitation, due to the non-spherical form of the earth, always balanced the centrifugal force in the horizontal plane, whatever its magnitude, the only extra fictitious force that had to be taken into account was the Coriolis force (fig. 11). Fig. 11. For a stationary object on a rotating planet or a rotating parabolic surface the horizontal components of the centrifugal force is balanced by the horizontal component of the gravitational force of the planet and, on the turntable, the horizontal component of the weight of the body. In both cases the component of gravitation and gravity, perpendicular to the rotational axis, equals the centrifugal force. Finally, Sprung suggested a different mathematical way to deal with the Coriolis effect: abandon the notion of relative motion and derive the acceleration in a fixed system. In other words: find the acceleration to prevent a relative motion from being deflected! This acceleration, achieved by some real force is, by some convention, called the Coriolis acceleration and written +2 V r. The derivation is simple and Newton could have done it by the same Euclidean method he used to find the centripetal acceleration in Principia (fig.12).
15 History of Meteorology 2 (2005) 15 Fig. 12. a) Newton s derivation of the centripetal acceleration: a body is over time t by the rotation carried from A to B and would, by pure inertia, in the next time interval have continued to C, had it not been affected by a centripetal impetus which brought it to D. By simple geometry one gets CD=R 2 ( t) 2. In case b) the body is also moving radially with relative velocity V= R/ t and would have continued from B to C, had it not been affected by a centripetal impetus which brought it to D. Since ACF is proportional to ABE and AF=2AE, it follows that CF=2BE 2 R t and since DF 2 (R- R) t it follows that GD=GF-DF CF- DF=2 R t=2 V( t) 2. It can easily be shown that D EFG is a parallelogram with GF perpendicular to OB, so GD BO and the Coriolis acceleration is perpendicular to the relative motion but to the left! Sprung does not seem to have been aware that Leonard Euler already in 1749 derived analytically what was essentially the Coriolis acceleration (fig. 13). 32 Fig. 13. Leonard Euler s 1749 derivation of the Coriolis acceleration (2drd ) and the so-called Euler acceleration (rdd ), which is the acceleration due to variations in the angular velocity. 2 2 dr d d 2 d If we multiply Euler s equation 2 + r = 0 with r and integrate, we will get r = c dt 2 2 dt dt dt which is today called angular momentum conservation, but is in fact only Kepler s second law, The Area Law ( Flächensatz or Loi des Aires ), which is a scalar version of angular momentum conservation.
16 Coriolis Effect Four centuries of conflict 16 Another 120 years of conflict between mathematics and common sense After Dove s death the effects of the rotation of the earth was very much in the air. In 1879, when Sprung published his first monograph, a colleague Max Thiesen at the Prussian Meteorological Institute in Berlin, reviewed Finger s 1877 and Ferrel s papers. Like Ferrel he regarded the deflection as a consequence of an imbalanced centrifugal force. He also used the concept of inertial circle 33. Thiesen s article started a debate with Sprung which soon came to involve other meteorologists and physicists like Fr. Roth in Buxtehude, H. Bruns in Leipzig, K. Weirauch in Dorpart (Tartu in today s Estonia) and Julius Hann. Hann was at this time working on his Handbuch der Klimatologie and Sprung, upon the request of von Neumayer, on a groundbreaking textbook on dynamic meteorology. The debate made to a large extent reference to the motions of the atmosphere and oceans, both to illustrate certain properties of the Coriolis effect, but also to explain the atmospheric motions. Since this was done without always distinguishing between forced and inertial motion, the discussion could become quite confused. Among the paradoxes that served to complicate the debate (excluding mysteries with the Foucault pendulum): 1. The Coriolis force does not depend on the radius of the earth, which therefore can be treated as a perfect sphere. But on a rotating spherical planet every object would be accelerated towards the equator - so there would be no Coriolis effect. 2. Common sense tells us that it is through friction that a body knows it is moving over a rotating surface. But how much friction is needed? The Coriolis force is after all an inertial force and friction would complicate the mathematics 3. Hadley s model implied 40 m/s Trade winds. But we know that his principle of conservation of absolute velocity was wrong, whereas the principle of conservation of absolute angular momentum is correct. But this principle yields 80 m/s Trade winds! The German debate is interesting and thought provoking, but we have to stop here. The development up to 1885 can be treated as historical since the problems have been resolved. However, those discussed since are still unsolved or at least controversial. By 1885 almost everything about the Coriolis effect was known and widely published. The following 120 years, i.e. up to now, have seen a constant repetition of the discussions and debates of the preceding 120 years, with interesting additions provided by new technological proposals such as a rotating space station. 34. In general we meet the same attempt then as now to reconcile mathematics with Hadley s, Bertrand s and others flawed but intuitively appealing common sense explanations and conceptual models. One can wonder why? It is often said that dynamic meteorology is difficult because of its mathematics, which contains non-linear differential equations. But while the non-linearity makes predictions difficult because of the Butterfly Effect, the mathematics of the Coriolis effect is not particularly difficult and is linear. Euler s equation has been used in celestial mechanics for 250 years without causing confusion and endless debates. But these equations and concepts relate to an absolute motion, whereas the Coriolis force relates to relative motion, which seems to be
17 History of Meteorology 2 (2005) 17 difficult to comprehend intuitively. Even more out of reach of everyday life is frictionless motion. Correspondents to the American Journal of Physics have noted that university students cherish naïve, Aristotelian ideas about how and why things move. For example, many students believe that forces keep bodies in motion and, conversely, that in the absence of forces bodies are at rest. 35 There are no reasons to assume that students in meteorology are immune to this Aristotelian physics as it has been called. The crux of the matter does not lay in the mathematics but in our common senses which are still Aristotelian.
18 Coriolis Effect Four centuries of conflict 18 Endnotes 1 William Ferrel, Nature 4 (1871). 2 The controversy started at the University of Cracow (then in Austria) over a publication by A. Denizot, Theorie der relativen Bewegung mit einer Anwendung auf das Problem der Bewegung eines Körpers an der Oberfläche der rotierenden Erde sowie auf den Foucaultschen Pendelversuch, Bull. Acad. Sci. d. Cracovie (Dec. 6, 1904): 449. Critical comments were made by M.P. Rudzki in the same publication in March Then followed a debate in Phys. Z. from April 1905 to September 1906 and in Ann. d. Phys. from July 1905 to February 1906 between A. Denizot, L. Teza and M.P. Rudzki. At the end a retired professor M. Koppe from Budapest was drawn in. The debate seems to have ended in Denizot s favor because in 1913 he published a book, Das Foucaultsche Pendel (Leipzig and Berlin, 1913), referenced in Meteorol. Z. 37 (1920): 101 and in Ann. D. Hydrog. 50 (1922): There are numerous examples during the 150 years since the first experiment. For modern examples see Encyclopedia Britannica 8 (1974), 524, the pendulum was remaining faithful to its original arc, with respect to space, but the Earth was moving under it due to the Earth s rotation. In a recent book about the Foucault pendulum contains the following: [The] plane of oscillation could not change as the Earth rotated under it. [the] Foucault pendulum keeps its plane of oscillation independent of the rotation of the earth. A.D. Aczel, Pendulum, Léon Foucault and the Triumph of Science (New York: Washington Square Press, 2003), 102, 168, see also 155 and Textbooks often go to great lengths to tell the reader that the Coriolis force is fictitious, artificial, a pseudo force, or even a mental construct. The equally fictitious centrifugal force is rarely talked about in this way. This might easily mislead a student into believing that some fictitious forces are more fictitious than others. A statement to the effect that the Coriolis force is indeed more fictitious than the centrifugal force, a real physical force, can be found in professor W.D. McComb s university textbook Dynamics and Relativity (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1999), For Taylor columns see A. Persson, The Obstructive Coriolis Force, Weather 50 (2001): and G.K. Batchelor, An Introduction to Fluid Dynamics (Cambridge: Cambridge Univ. Press, 1967), For gyroscopes see A. Sommerfeld, Mechanics (New York: Academic Press, 1952), and R. Lyttleton, The Comets and Their Origin (Cambridge: Cambridge Univ. Press, 1953), 17. A large number of asteroids are trapped in Jupiter s two stable Lagrange points. See B.W. Carroll and D.A.

It has been claimed, for example by M. Jacobi, Immanuel Kant und die Lehre von den Winden, Meteorol. Z. 20 (1903): , that Kant discovered the same principle in 1756, independently of Hadley. I have not read I. Kant, Neue Anmerkungen zur Erläuterung der Theorie der Winde, (1756) from Kant, Physische Geographie 4 (Mainz: Vollmer, 1805), 37-53, but the extracts by Jakobi are not convincing. C. Truesdell, Essays in the History of Mechanics (Berlin: Springer Verlag,1968), 131 confirms that Clairaut did not calculate the relative acceleration correctly. 12 P.S. Laplace, Recherches sur plusieurs points du système du monde, Mém. Acad. Roy. d. Sci. 88 (1775): ; P.S. Laplace, Recherches sur plusieurs points du système du monde, Mém. Acad. Roy. d. Sci. 89 (1776): About twenty years later, Laplace divided the works, which are essentially technical, although they also contain some qualitative discussions, into two parts. One, Mécanique Céleste, became the technical part; Système du Monde became a purely descriptive part. Each of these works went through several editions during Laplace s lifetime. When reference is now made to the Systeme, what is meant is the descriptive account first published in 1796, not the original memories of , which have approximately the same title! I am much indebted to professor George W. Platzman for having clarified this to me in The mathematical derivation is in Memoir 2, pp , Article XXII in the 1796 edition, reprinted in Laplace, Oeuvres complètes 9. The qualitative discussion is in Memoir 1, p. 90, Article II. 13 The speed of a molecule of the fluid is supposed to remain the same in the latitudinal direction The closer the air is to the pole, the smaller is its actual speed. Consequently, as it approaches the equator, it must turn slower than the corresponding part of the Earth Thus, for an observer believing to be at rest, the wind seems to blow in a direction opposed to the one of the rotation i.e. from east to west: indeed, it is the direction of the Trade winds.

Khloe and Kourtney put a snake on Kris' bed and stream his room with toilet paper while Kim Kardashian is away on a promo trip to Dubai with Kris Jenner.
Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian decided to have a little fun while they were on hand to keep an eye on Kris Humphries in New York. In a recently-aired episode of "Kourtney and Kim Take New York", the sister duo was seen playing a series of pranks on the estranged husband of Kim Kardashian.
While Kim was in Dubai doing a promotional trip, Khloe crashed at Kris' place. "You're not staying here, are you?" he asked her, to which she simply replied, "Oh yeah." Taking Kourtney as her partner in crime, Khloe then streamed Kris' room with toilet paper. When it failed to annoy him, they put a snake on his bed.
Kim left New York without Kris because she's still mad after he missed her texts while having a booze-filled party night. "It was just a day, in and out," he said when she confronted him. "I wanted to just go hang out, catch up with friends." When the argument heated up, he said, "Part of me is not used to being married yet. I'm going to make and effort to communicate better."
While on the trip with Kris Jenner, Kim confided to her mom, "Married life just isn't what I thought it would be with him." She added, "I keep thinking something is off." Saying that being away from Kris was "a relief," she admitted she's not sure if she's excited to return home to him. She explained, "I don't know. I can't really explain it. ... There's something in my relationship I just feel isn't right."
In New York, meanwhile, after Khloe had her fun pulling pranks on Kris, she sat down with the 26-year-old athlete to have a little heart-to-heart conversation about his marriage to her 31-year-old sister. "Do you like being married?" she asked. He, however, didn't give a satisfying answer as he dodged the question and yawned a lot.

Claude VonStroke and Justin Martin on Dirtybird Records' Ten "Booty-Shaking" Years
The Dirtybirds: Claude VonStroke and Justin Martin.
Photos by Tim Jones (left) and Dirtybird Records (right)
A full decade after Dirtybird's very first record, it's easy to forget how drab and somber electronic dance music culture was during the 2000s.
Cold, soulless minimal techno served by po-faced DJs was still the order of the day for a scene that took itself way too seriously and had seemingly forgotten that dance music is supposed to be, well, fun.
But since 2005, San Francisco DJ-producers and Dirtybird masterminds Claude VonStroke and Justin Martin have been here to inject some much-needed levity and party mojo into the scene with their own fun-loving, self-styled brand of electronic sleaze.

"At the start, it was just something different to get away from what we were hearing in the clubs," VonStroke says about launching the label. "We weren't satisfied with the sounds, so we did our own sound."
Martin adds: "We set out to make fun stuff that drew from all of our musical influences and blurred the lines between genres."
That uninhibited, unorthodox blending of hip-hop, ghetto-funk and bass with four-to-the-floor house and techno is what set Dirtybird apart from the rest of the scene. And ultimately, it helped bring back the sex appeal and charisma that had been missing from so much 2000s-era dance music.
"Bass bin-rattling, booty-shaking, creative fun." That's how Martin describes the label's aesthetic. "I would say it's hard to find a Dirtybird track in the catalog that doesn't sound and feel amazing loud. There may be one or two, but it's rare."
See also: Rap's Ten Best Songs About Big Butts
For VonStroke, Dirtybird's style is all about the dance floor. "Elements of funk, jungle, and hip-hop always find their way into our stuff," he says. "But I don't care who made it or where it came from. I just want the hot tracks that get me excited to play them out."
And now, after ten years, Dirtybird remains one of the most beloved labels on the international scene, thanks not only to its signature aesthetic and formidable catalog, but also its extended family of artists, including esteemed DJ-producers like J.Phlip, Worthy, Shiba San, and Kill Frenzy.
"Over the years, Dirtybird has grown so much, I almost feel like we are a real record label now," jokes VonStroke. "No one would ever believe how ragtag this operation was for many, many years. I've never strayed too far away from the DIY ethos, simply because I am really passionate about it, so I will always do it better than someone who is collecting a paycheck, or a manager with 50 artists, or someone who just wants to look cool."
Likewise, Martin admits: "I never thought we would come as far as we have. I just followed Claude's leadership and learned that anything is possible through hard work, dedication, and a strong team of friends."
Looking back on the past decade, these two Dirtybirds acknowledge that it wasn't always easy. But they insist there was never any chance of selling out or giving up.
"There have have been ups and downs -- years when we were not as cool or in as other years," Martin says. "But I think another key to success is sticking to your guns and making the music you love, and of course, being as creative as you can. Dirtybird has always been my outlet to do that, and the open-minded fanbase we have acquired in the process makes me feel lucky, day after day."
As for whether we can expect another ten years of Dirtybird? "Yes, I think so," VonStroke assures us. "I feel like we have just scratched the tip of the iceberg in America. We are not really the hot, hot label in Europe at the moment, but Europe is always much more moody, and we literally go up and down in waves over there, year by year. My plan is to keep expanding without changing the music or going commercial."
And because Dirtybird's affinity for booty bass pretty much makes the crew honorary 305ers, and its label showcases during Miami Music Week are now an annual tradition, what better time and place to celebrate the label's tenth anniversary?
"Everyone is playing back to back," VonStroke reveals. "And since lots of artists will be in Miami, I'm sure there will be some great cameos at the party."

Re: DAK charm
Expand Messages
- Margaret,
Thank you for explaining me the time involved. It appears like it is
almost an instant gratification for what you did: 15 hours? That is a
great timing. If it takes 50 times longer to do it by hand then it
will be 50 days working 15 hours a day!
Yes, I noticed that DAK can do a lot and the price they want sounds
sweeter and sweeter, maybe someone will run a Christmas sale?
My goal is not to have a competing product with DAK, I want to be
able to control a knitting machine by a computer, that would mean
only one thing: PC and a communication interface. It would be a
universal (open) architecture so everybody and his brother could
write any program to work with it. What is missing right now is that
we don't know the electrical architecture, interfaces, voltage
levels, pinout. Such situation allows a cable manufacturer charge
$100 while as John mentioned, $20 would allow for a hefty profit
because I can buy a serial cable for $5 and there might be an
electrical interface built into that cable, hopefully there is one
because if it is a bare and repinned cable then it would be a joke
that would get into TV headlines. If someone has that cable maybe the
lead can be unscred to tell us what's inside? Just don't damage it!
Once open architecture is established and I believe John is already
capable of doing some communication, then comes the application part,
ie what is that program supposed to do. Many people would get
involved into writing such programs.
Your observation that DAK has a pre w95 appearance coincides with my
experience- I could not install it on my w2000 computer because I get
error messages. While those error messages might signify a missing
link, I have no problems installing other 2000 programs. Obviously it
is a small company with limited resources that keeps a strong hold on
the captive market (what do they care how the interface looks like?
But if people can make a fabulous sweater they will buy it anyway).
Such a strategy will work fine until someone comes along with skill
and interest. Or a major company determines that the market is huge.
I have no idea if it is a huge market but I know that it is a huge
country that makes those numbers more appealing. The bad part is that
Brother machines are orphans and no more new machines are being made.
That tells me that the marked for DAK-like programs is limited and
therefore not attractive to anybody.
My interest in knitting machines is based on my interest in CNC
machines (computer numeric control, three motors control x, y and z
and each of them moves according to the program, that's a basic
idea). CNC hobby market was in dark ages in 1992 but now is very well
developed, with large amount of programs available. For example
www.turbocnc.com is a shareware program with sourcecode available for
$60, which would allow writing own applications. The same program
from, say, www.mastercam.com costs $20,000. While the two programs
have diffrent features, many people run their businesses using
With turbocnc it is so that when a cnc machine is connected to the
turbocnc program, you have to set up parameters of your cnc machine
(some machines are larger than others). The next step is to see if
the machine responds to a turbocnc program, ie one can try jogging,
using cursor keys. Better programs allow using a mouse fo that
(turbocnc is a DOS program). Once we know that cnc machine moves are
correspomding with entered values (1" in a program =1" in a machine)
we can start using that machine for milling under computer control
(see the resemblance to 'knitting under computer control?'). At that
point is time to enter a machining code that will do something that
we want. For example we want a circle milled on a flat surface. A
board is placed in a machine, a machine code (g-code because it uses
a letter G and a number, example g91) is written using a SEPARATE
program that is designed just for that purpose of creating a g-code
from a drawing). Once that g-code (describing a circle in our case)
is executed, we will have a nice circle carved in material.
Now you see a great resemblance of knitting to cnc. It is not complex
to write an application once we have an interface. I know someone who
knows how to do just that, who already has several similar products
under his belt- but it's a long way, we don't have an interface
specified. I would imagine that Brother would be thrilled to share
that information but it requires finding the right people.
There are many ways this group can go forward, I see almost 30 people
coming to this board in one day and that is good because everybody
chips in and if nothing comes out of this group project I will have
at least one sweater, like your lucky husband!
