R o

Definition

quotient of inertial forces and Coriolis forces in the context of transfer of matter in geophysics, expressed by

$R o = v / (2 l ω_{E} sin φ)$ ; where

$v$ :: is speed (ISO 80000-3: Space and time) of motion,

$l$ :: is characteristic length (ISO 80000-3: Space and time), the scale of the phenomenon,

$ω_{E}$ :: is angular velocity (ISO 80000-3: Space and time) of the Earth's rotation, and

$φ$ :: is angle (ISO 80000-3: Space and time) of latitude

quotient des forces d'inertie par les forces de Coriolis dans le contexte d'un transfert de matière en géophysique, exprimé par:

$R o = v / (2 l ω_{E} sin φ)$ ; où

$v$ :: est la vitesse (ISO 80000-3: Space and time) de déplacement;

$l$ :: est la longueur caractéristique (ISO 80000-3: Space and time), l'échelle du phénomène;

$ω_{E}$ :: est la vitesse angulaire (ISO 80000-3: Space and time) de rotation de la Terre; et

$φ$ :: est l'angle (ISO 80000-3: Space and time) de latitude

Notes

The Rossby number represents the effect of Earth's rotation on flow in pipes, rivers, ocean currents, tornadoes, etc.

The quantity $ω_{E} sin φ$ is called Coriolis frequency.

Le nombre de Rossby représente l'effet de la rotation de la Terre sur l'écoulement dans des tubes, des rivières, des courants océaniques, des tornades, etc.

La grandeur $ω_{E} sin φ$ est appelée fréquence de Coriolis.
