The acceleration of Coriolis is a term of acceleration which intervenes when one studies the movement of a body moving in a reference frame in Rotation compared to the Référentiel galiléen.

$\backslash \; vec\; \{a\_C\}\; =\; 2\; \backslash \; cdot\; \{\backslash \; vec\; \{\backslash \; Omega\}\}\; \_\; \{R/R\_g\}\; \backslash \; wedge\; \{\backslash \; vec\; \{v\}\}\; \_\; \{R/R\_g\}$

One often makes him correspond a corresponding force fictitious in order to be able to continue to study the body considered in his reference frame in rotation (to simplify the resolution).
