Coriolis acceleration of a projectile launched at the equator

[QUOTE="jbriggs444, post: 6633489, member: 422467"] Look at the Latitude 0 section and the columns for a target at 0 degrees (North) or 180 degrees (South). Look at the row for 30,000 yard range. A shot at those angles is deflected 42 yards left (west) when firing north and 42 yards right (west) when firing south. This is presumably due to Coriolis acting on the arching shot. [/QUOTE]
