Discussing sources of the β-term in a vorticity equation in rotating coordinates

In the study of atmospheric dynamics, the vorticity equation in a rotating coordinate system plays a crucial role. However, a paradox arises when one considers the term related to spatial variations in Coriolis parameters known as the “β-term”. The β-term should not appear in the vorticity equation...
