- A list of citations from researchers in physics and geosciences of the last decade on what is known and what is incorrect about the Coriolis force.
"It is clear that the conventionally available conceptual methods for
teaching how the Coriolis force affects motion across the surface of the earth are too
infrequent, inaccurate, or incomplete to construct the desired conceptual mastery."
Jared Arnell, student of Boyd Edwards, 2022

"Despite its long history of study, the Coriolis force is a
continuing source of confusion, including errors by Richard
Feynman and Max Born. The Coriolis deflection can
seem downright mysterious, as anyone who has played catch
with a ball on a merry-go-round can attest. Students of
intermediate (upper-division) classical mechanics learn how
to transform Newton’s second law into a uniformly rotating
frame mathematically, but they often cannot interpret the
mathematics, appreciate the physical origins of the Coriolis
and centrifugal forces, or relate them to motion as seen by an
observer in the inertial frame."

"It would perhaps have expressed more strongly his concern that the 2Ω × Vr term was a kinematic description only of how the oscillation performed, not why. To accomplish this he made a dynamic analysis which gave the result that the gravitational attraction, a very real force, was highly instrumental in the ‘inertial’ oscillation."

"In contrast to the traditional approach, the deflection as observed on a rotating planet should not be treated as the consequence of one fictitious force, the Coriolis force, but instead as a combination of apparent and real forces. Teachers should show that the centrifugal force, mathematically and physically intrinsically coupled to the Coriolis force, has to be neutralized or balanced."
