[Mitgcm-support] Re: useCoriolis flag (PR#30)

[mitgcm-support at dev.mitgcm.org]

exp2 uses spherical coordinates and so f=2*Omega*sin(lat) rather
than f=f0+beta*y. f0 and beta aren't used and shouldn't be in
the file verification/exp2/input/data

I've subsequently removed the lines:

  beta=1.E-11,
  f0=1.e-4,

which will appear in future revisions.

Thanks and sorry for the confusion.
