摘要

Evening illumination, as seen from space, is indicative of human population centers. Have you ever wondered why Europe, as far north as Norway, is quite habitable, whereas Labrador, in a relative sense, is not? To understand this, we must add to the prior discussion of the Coriolis force, how gravity and the Earth’s spherical shape affect the fluid motions of our planet.
