The rotation of the Earth has an important dynamical effect on the fluid environment and we begin our discussion by studying the role of large-scale rotation in simple cases. In this chapter, the Rossby number is defined as a nondimensional measure of the importance of rotation. The usefulness of a rotating frame of reference is outlined.
