You're disputing my assertion that Coriolis is the same all over the world? ROFLMAO.

Vamei was an extreme case, but as I said formation of TCs in other basins in the vicinity of 5N or 5S is fairly routine, which is a clear indication that you need to look other than at Coriolis for a reason such formation is lacking in the Atlantic.

The Atlantic in many ways is the "oddball" tropical basin of the world. But it's not Coriolis preventing formation in the Atlantic from about 3N to 10N. (I believe the Atlantic record is 7.9N north.)

Coriolis Force - an artifact of the earth's rotation

Likewise, winds blowing closer to the poles will be deflected more than winds at the same speed closer to the equator. The Coriolis force is zero right at the equator.

You really should check before you LOL at someone else.
