Coriolis Effect (Weather)

Work in Progress

According to proponents of the Coriolis Effect, in the Northern Hemisphere wind systems rotate counter-clockwise, and in the Southern Hemisphere wind systems will rotate clockwise. This is provided as evidence of the Coriolis Effect, and therefore, as evidence of the diurnal motion of the earth.

Prevailing Winds and Trade Winds
"Prevailing Winds" and "Trade Winds" are the world's large permanent wind systems. When we look at the permanent wind currents of the world, we find the counter-clockwise rule of the Northern Hemisphere and the clockwise rule of the Southern Hemisphere to be untrue. Earth's large permanent wind systems are rotating in a manner contrary to the alleged Coriolis Effect.

Coriolis Effect proponents also point to the rotation of hurricanes. In the Northern Hemisphere hurricanes rotate counter-clockwise, and in the Southern Hemisphere hurricanes rotate clockwise. While researching this claim, we find that it may be generally true for most hurricanes. Coriolis Effect proponents further claim that hurricanes have never crossed over the equator into the opposing hemisphere.

These proofs, however, are given without background information as to how hurricanes are created, and what wind currents exist at the equator that prevent them from crossing.

We point to the fact that Hurricanes develop near the equator, and that at the equator there exists a strong wind current called the Equatorial Counter Current, which is a very strong permanent westerly-flowing wind current that sits 3-10 degrees North of the Equator. Above and below the Equatorial Counter Current exist easterly-flowing wind currents. In order for a hurricane to cross into the opposing hemisphere, such a hurricane would need to defeat strong permanent wind currents which are moving opposite to its direction. Further, hurricanes are created by these tropical wind currents, and are sent spiraling Northward or Southward away from the tropical regions of the equator to cause havoc in the temperate regions of the North and South, and with to their relatively short lives would be unlikely to turn around back to its origin.

To explain why the hurricanes rotate oppositely from each other from the equator we give a demonstration of a stream of water hitting an empty bowl. When the stream hits the side of an empty bowl it splatters and splits apart, with one half of the water following the bowl clockwise, and the other half of the water following the bowl counter-clockwise.

Further evidence is given in the following videos, where friction in water creates oppositely rotating vortexes:
