beta

Meridional gradient of the Coriolis parameter.

---

Description

Real valued property with no dimensions and units of \(\mathrm{rad\,m^{-1}\,s^{-1}}\).

Discussion

Meridional gradient of the Coriolis parameter.

The transform computes \(\beta=2\Omega_\mathrm{planet}\cos(\phi)/R\). Its units are radians per meter per second.
