Obviously a scientist named Coriolis or someting similar. By the way another scientist named Ferrell ( l9th century ) working for the Coast and Geodetic survey labs came up with an identical theory accounting for the direction of cyclones in different directions in the northern and southern Hemispheres. Mr. Ferrell also invented a tidal-prediction machine using mechanical clockwork- one wonders if one of these survives as a museum piece, do not confuse with Tide timers superimposed over some maritime clocks. The name of the effect-and force has no connection with Burlesque actress Ann Corio.
What else can I help you with?
Why did Gaspard Gustave Coriolis named his invention the Coriolis effect?
Gaspard Gustave Coriolis named his invention the Coriolis effect after himself because he was the first to mathematically describe the phenomenon in fluid dynamics. His work on the effect, which explains the deflection of moving objects on a rotating planet, has since become a fundamental concept in meteorology and oceanography.
A sentence with coriolis effect?
The Coriolis effect causes moving objects on Earth, such as air currents and ocean currents, to appear to curve due to the rotation of the Earth.
What apparent curving of the paths of winds and ocean currents is the result of the rotation of the earth?
The apparent curving is known as the Coriolis effect. It causes moving air and water to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Earth's rotation. This effect influences the direction of winds and ocean currents on a global scale.
What currents are influences by the Coriolis effect?
Surface Currents
In the northern hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes winds to curve to the what?
The coriolis force is strongest at the poles
The apparent curving of the winds is called?
the Coriolis effect
What apparent shift in wind direction that is caused by the earth rotation?
Coriolis effect
How does the ocean flows?
It Flows with the coriolis effect. It Flows with the coriolis effect.

What is the name of one cell that forms because of the Coriolis effect?
The Coriolis Effect is the phenomenon that effects global winds. A convection cell is a form of wind and this is the first part of the coriolis effect.
What is the deflection of air masses resulting from earths eastwards rotation?
The Coriolis Effect is responsible for this.
Does the Coriolis effect make a tornado start to rotate?
No. Tornadoes are too small for the Coriolis effect to influence them.
What effect is spinning water?
Coriolis Effect.
A sentence with coriolis effect?
The Coriolis effect causes moving objects on Earth, such as air currents and ocean currents, to appear to curve due to the rotation of the Earth.
Are Winds are turned to the right in the Northern Hemisphere?
yes they are =^_^=
At which location does the coriolis force have the least effect on wind?
The Coriolis effect has the least effect on winds in equatorial regions and the most effect on winds in polar regions. Coriolis effect deflects winds to the right of their initial direction in the northern hemisphere and left of their initial direction in the southern hemisphere.
How does Coriolis Effect affect currents?
Currents don't affect the Coriolis Effect, the Coriolis Effect is the one who affects the currents. Currents in the Northern Hemisphere bend to the left and currents in the Southern Hemisphere bend to the right.
