Accounting for Secondary Effects (Spin Drift, Aerodynamic Jump, and Coriolis)
01:02:59 | This episode covers Chapter 12 of Modern Advancements in Long Range Shooting – Volume 1. Secondary effects such as spindrift, aerodynamic jump, and Coriolis effect are calculated by ballistic solvers, but it helps to have some insight about how they arise, and under what circumstances you need to account for them. The listener should have more confidence in their understanding and accounting of second-order effects after listening to this.
In regards to horizontal coriolis does the Applied Ballistics app correct for magnetic declination when inputting the azimuth based upon the location?
Sorry I meant vertical not horizontal.
No. In this application, it’s true north that matters, not magnetic north. That said, the difference between them isn’t likely to make a significant difference in the Coriolis calculation.
