Taylor effect

  "id": "MLC-T-MET-009503",
  "term": "Taylor effect",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The tendency for fluid flow in a rapidly rotating system to become two-dimensional, meaning that the flow is uniform along the axis of rotation. This effect is a consequence of the Coriolis force and is observed in geophysical fluid dynamics, such as in the Earth's oceans and atmosphere, where large-scale motions are often quasi-two-dimensional. It is particularly pronounced for slow, steady flows.",
