How does the Coreolis force differ from radiation "curl" and how does

In the NORTHERN HEMISPHERE...
The LAND moves COUNTERCLOCKWISE around the North Pole.
Air flows COUNTERCLOCKWISE around a LOW pressure zone.
Air flows CLOCKWISE around a HIGH pressure zone.
In the SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE...
The LAND moves CLOCKWISE around the South Pole.
Air flows CLOCKWISE around a LOW pressure zone.
Air flows COUNTERCLOCKWISE around a HIGH pressure zone.
... similar effects are also noted in magnetic phenomenon and
objects/properties affected by magnetic properties.
I know of no complete studies which have reached any conclusive
ends in the directions you seem to suggest. Most likely, not
enough is known yet.
This has been understood by the educated world since about 1778 when
Laplace published his tidal equations, or 1835 when Gaspard-Gustave
Coriolis
published.

Your education seems to be a bit behind the times.

It is quite obvious the "Coriolis Effect" has NOTHING to do with
water taking its' whirlpool course down the drain in regards to its'
current hemisphere ... but you grow predictable. I figured you would
lack the intelligence to see this obvious fact.

Babbling fool, the above was about AIR, not water.

Do you know the difference between air and water?

In order to observe the Coriolis effect in draining water, several
extraordinary precautions must be taken. You must have a smooth circular
pan with a precisely centered and very small hole in the center. The pan
is filled with water, and allowed to sit for enough time that all motion
of the water is gone at the onset of the experiment. My source suggests
a week. Then the stopper must be removed from below in a manner that
doesn't disturb the water. (save the obvious) If the flow is small
enough, and no other disturbances occur, after about an hour, a cyclonic
rotation occurs.

For all practical purposes, the effect is only applicable for large
and long lasting fluid motion.

Too bad that, it would be fun to watch water refuse to swirl at all
if we emptied a sink at the equator. 8^)

In a recent email to an acquaintance of mine who lives in Australia I
asked him what the action of draining water was down under. His reply
was that results were mixed with some drains turning counter clockwise
and some drains turning clockwise. Sometimes it was the same drain.

It seems the jury is still out on the subject.
