The rotation vector, velocity of movement and Coriolis acceleration expressed in this local coordinate system (listing components in the order East (''e''), North (''n'') and Upward (''u'')) are:

| When considering atmospheric or oceanic dynamics, the vertical velocity is small and the vertical component of the Coriolis acceleration is small compared to gravity. For such cases, only the horizontal (East and North) components matter. The restriction of the above to the horizontal plane is (setting ''v<sub>u</sub>''=0):
| | The quarks can be arranged to exhibit right- and left-handedness, subscripts ''L'' and ''R'', to resemble the leptons. The right-handed quarks do not couple to the weak interaction, and are labeled with subscript ''R''. The left-handed quarks corresponding to these right-handed quarks are mixtures of quarks. Thus, the up and down quarks are assembled as: |

| By setting ''v<sub>n</sub>'' = 0, it can be seen immediately that (for positive φ and ω) a movement due east results in an acceleration due south. Similarly, setting ''v<sub>e</sub>'' = 0, it is seen that a movement due north results in an acceleration due east. In general, observed horizontally, looking along the direction of the movement causing the acceleration, the acceleration always is turned 90° to the right and of the same size regardless of the horizontal orientation.

| As a different case, consider equatorial motion setting φ = 0°. In this case, '''Ω''' is parallel to the North or ''n''-axis, and:

| Accordingly, an eastward motion (that is, in the same direction as the rotation of the sphere) provides an upward acceleration known as the [[Eötvös effect]], and an upward motion produces an acceleration due west.
