Den fiktiva kraft som för en betraktare på jorden ger intryck av att en kropp eller vätska i rörelse böjer av, ett fenomen som dock orsakas av jordens rotation. I medicinska sammanhang associeras kraften med de fysiologiska effekter (illamående, yrsel) som personer som rör sig radiellt i ett roterande system känner av, som t ex i en roterande rymdstation.
The apparent deflection (Coriolis acceleration) of a body in motion with respect to the earth, as seen by an observer on the earth, attributed to a fictitious force (Coriolis force) but actually caused by the rotation of the earth. In a medical context it refers to the physiological effects (nausea, vertigo, dizziness, etc.) felt by a person moving radially in a rotating system, as a rotating space station.
