coriolis

Compute \(f\), the Coriolis parameter as a function of latitude
(see reference 1),
assuming earth siderial angular rotation rate
\(omega\)=7292115e-11 rad/s. See reference 1 for general notes, and
see reference 2 for comments on temporal variations
of \(omega\).

Supports the analysis of Oceanographic data, including 'ADCP'
measurements, measurements made with 'argo' floats, 'CTD' measurements,
sectional data, sea-level time series, coastline and topographic data, etc.
Provides specialized functions for calculating seawater properties such as
potential temperature in either the 'UNESCO' or 'TEOS-10' equation of state.
Produces graphical displays that conform to the conventions of the
Oceanographic literature. This package is discussed extensively by
Kelley (2018) "Oceanographic Analysis with R" <doi:10.1007/978-1-4939-8844-0>.
