Roughly speaking, 50 kA of current flows overhead in the ionosphere between each pair of contours, counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. The effects are largely concentrated in the daylit hemisphere because... Construction of Marine and Offshore Structures - Strana 27autor/autoři: Ben C.

...Because of the direction of. earth 's rotation, the hurricane has a cyclonic wind circulation which is counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. The wind system just above the water surface 'is circular, having an average diameter of about 400 miles... | |

The Coriolis force (due to the rotation of the earth) causes the standing wave to rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere, so that the standing tide (a Kelvin wave) rotates around a node that is called an amphidromic point.... | |

Notice that the rotary waves rotate counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere because of Coriolis deflection.
