+The value of this parameter determines the value of the Coriolis parameters f and f*, provided that the angular velocity (see [#omega omega]) is non-zero. Note that at equator the horizontal component of the Coriolis force is zero, while its vertical component has its maximum; and vice versa at the poles. For switching off the Coriolis force, it is thus recommended to set [#omega omega] = 0.0 instead.
