Hydrostatic Equation
Linked via "global models"
Consideration of Gravity and Rotation
The classical hydrostatic equation assumes gravity ($g$) acts purely vertically downward. However, in global models, especially when relating pressure to latitude (as in defining mean sea level pressure), the Earth's rotation necessitates modifications to account for the centrifugal force.
When using a [spherical coordinate system]…
