Hello Alhutch! Thank you for the warm welcome, but in fact I have been here some years - I just never signed up! Hopefully I can be more useful now I am truly a wikipeddian...

I thought the caption on the first figure looked OK - there is considerable mention of hurricanes down the page. But I just looked again and I see that no mention of the reversal of the deflection in the Southern hemisphere is provided, nor that it's zero at the equator. Maybe you'd have time to fix that up? Anyway, glad you are interested - there are a lot of substandard science articles in place. Carrionluggage 16:52, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I probably should have commented on my reason for altering the caption. It was just that the picture (and hence the caption as well) is pretty much the second thing you see after the summary, which does not mention hurricanes. I'm always of the opinion that articles should proceed nice and linearly, at least early on, so I changed it. The original caption had actually been simply lifted from the same picture in a different article.

The rest I think is covered fairly well in 'Physical Version', about the fourth para I think. However I have added a summary of the effects you mentioned in (appropriately enough) the summary section!

For those wondering what we are talking about, by the way, it's this article. Thanks for your time, Carrionluggage. Thick as a Planck 08:13, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
