    He actually said it the other way around at the beginning, the ones on blue swirl are spinning counter-clockwise haha

      exactly what I was thinking , you can clearly see the tails of the blue hurricanes indicating counter clockwise while the red hurricanes are moving clockwise opposite to what he said lol

      That’s true, he’s got it wrong. I look at the “dark shadows” pointing into the hurricane/cyclone (the dark color (water) where the clouds are not) . These point it right out.

      He definitely got it wrong. You can see Florida in the bottom left image. These storms rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. He said it correctly at 2:00.

    In the N hemisphere, the Coriolis effect results in winds deflected to the E with winds coming from the SW. I can see how along the left side of the wind, it deflects the air and results in counterclockwise cyclones but why doesn't it create a cyclone with CW rotations to the right side of the wind.

    Great explanation. Glad that you used effect in lieu of force. I know most people know this but some don’t think about it. In the northern hemisphere and you’re looking down at the earth from a satellite the hurricane spins Counter Clockwise. If you are on beach and you look up at the hurricane, it is spinning Clockwise. Just different perspectives. Just for fun.

    “But due ti the low pressure zones, these winds follow a circular path.”
    How do bending east and west lead to storms spinning clockwise and counterclockwise? I still cannot relate

    • @robertmorphis5645

      The atmosphere generally moves with the Earth, eastward, fastest at the equator, slowest near the poles.
      Low pressure "pulls" the air in to the center.
      Because the air near the equator is moving faster, as it is pulled northward to a low pressure system it moves to the east.
      Air from the north is moving slower and moves to the west.
      Not straight east or west, but at an angle.
      Air drawn from the east joins the air from the south, the combination moves north where it encounters air being pulled south-west ...
      And around it goes.

      You should ask about Hurricane Erin on 9/11. The evidence is available to the public after Dr Judy Wood sued NIST the contractors. It’s the only hurricane that’s been recorded to stop, start rotating in the opposite and made a 90 degree angle out of town. Right next to Manhattan. Like I said all the satellite images and evidence of this was taken to the highest court of appeals where they stated on record “we are ignoring the law in this case.” Look up her work. It’s incredible. She also shows the math she did and everyone is welcomed to as well.

    nice animation of coriolis effect (arrow).
    What i dont understand is why when the archer shoots from the equator to the north pole, the path deflects. I understand when the archer is at the north pole and shoots towards the equator , the path of the arrow will deflect (go west of its target) , the reason being since he is not rotating at the north pole but the equator is rotating.
    I think its because, relative to the equator , the north pole is rotating.

    • @Scienceabc
      @Scienceabc  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The archer will rotate at the north pole albeit at a slower speed as compared to the speed with which the equator is rotating. So the arrow will gain some angular momentum as it reaches the equator.

    • @chevota400
      @chevota400 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Rather than thinking the arrow deflects, think of the Earth moving under it. If the archer were in normal size field and shooting a typical moving target, like a Rabbit, and aimed directly at the target, the arrow would land behind the target. So he has to aim ahead of the target, where the target will be by the time the arrow arrives. Did the arrow fired ahead of the target "curve" and hit the target? Of course not. It's no different with the Earth example. At the north pole, basically not moving, the shooter has to aim ahead of the target on the moving equator. If it takes an hour for this magic arrow to get there, then he has to aim where the target will be in an hour. If it takes 24 hours then I guess he can aim right at the target, which will move away, but come back around the next day, same time, and arrow hits target. From the arrows perspective it's a straight shot, but if you traced a line the arrow traveled over the Earth, it's spiraled 360 degrees before hitting the target. Of course it did not spiral, the Earth spun while it was in flight.
      When shooting from the equator to the north pole, it's simply in reverse since the archer is moving and the pole is not. Like shooting from a train at a stationery target. Once again you can't aim right at it, you have aim before the target so the arrow and target meet. The archer at the equator is moving at the speed of the equator, which is ~1000mph. So picture a still Earth, but riding a 1000mph train at the equator going east. In either case, when he shoots, the arrow is moving towards the north pole at its normal speed, but also east at 1000mph.
      Say this magic arrow is flying at 1000mph relative to the ground, so 1000mph north ground speed, but it's also moving 1000mph east, yet eastward ground speed is 0 (at the equator). As you go north, Earths rotation speed slows. Once you reach a latitude that is at 900mph, the arrow now has an eastward ground speed of 100mph. Further north where rotation speed is 800mph, the arrows easterly speed is 200mph. Nothing is deflecting the path of this magic arrow, excluding the magic that keeps it following the curvature of the Earth. The arrow was, and is, moving in a straight line. It's the reference points that moved, and the fact that it wasn't actually fired due north to begin with.
      If the Earth has no reference points, just solid ocean, it would be easier to picture the arrows path as a straight line. Using the irrelevant reference points on the surface to make curves only makes it confusing, imo. I think it's better to understand the arrows flight over a plain sphere, then add reference points.
      Once you wrap your head around that, the same effect nets a different result when shooting directly East or West. We can't assume a magic arrow that follows the curve of the Earth this time, or it will nullify the effect, but lets say gravity has no effect on it and the target is ten miles away. Basically, if you shoot East, the arrow will hit high. Shooting West it will hit low. Again, from the perspective of the arrow, nothing has changed, it's the archer that needs to account for the time it takes for the arrow to hit the target, and how much the target will move during that time. A great way to experience this east-west Coriolis is you and a buddy toss a ball around while on a spinning merry-go-round. To get a little crazier (harder to grasp) make a loop in a garden hose, like a jump-rope loop. Now swing it back n forth, say 40 degrees. While swinging it and all is normal, have a buddy turn on the water. Try to figure out wth is happening, and why it gets worse when the water flow increases... Its still Coriolis, just harder to grasp.

      Airplanes flying North to South (or South to North) do experience Coriolis effect, but (unlike an arrow), it can be corrected with the flight controls. Anyway, the effect is small.
