The dotted arrows show the direction the trade winds would take if the earth's rotation did not deflect them to the left in the southern hemisphere and to the right in the northern.

...deflected because of the rotation of the earth. This is known as the Coriolis Effect. • This deflection - to the left in the Southern Hemisphere and to the right in the Northern Hemisphere - causes winds to circulate around highs and lows. • In the Southern Hemisphere ciculation is clockwise... | |

...across a distance of one Rossby radius, and rotation causes a response turning the direction of motion to the left in the southern hemisphere (and to the right in the northern hemisphere); consequently the process is markedly different from the non-rotating case. In the former case, Coriolis... | |
