"You have to make them up in the geocentric model. Please explain what causes the Coriolis in the geocentric model."

Wrong again. You have to make them up in the geokinetic model. This was posted yesterday morning. You are just blabbering.

"...Thus we may return to Ptolemy's point of view of a 'motionless earth'...One has to show that the transformed metric can be regarded as produced according to Einstein's field equations, by distant rotating masses. This has been done by Thirring. He calculated a field due to a rotating, hollow, thick-walled sphere and proved that inside the cavity it behaved as though there were centrifugal and other inertial forces usually attributed to absolute space. Thus from Einstein's point of view, Ptolemy and Copernicus are equally right."

Please explain what causes the coriolis winds in a stationary earth. And don’t go into “done by Thirring’ because his calculated effect is thousands of times smaller and we are spending millions trying to detect it.

Perhaps you should do a little research on inertial versus non-inertial reference frames and fictional forces.
