Abstract
In sect. 7.1 we derived the shallow water equations from basic conservation principles. Here we extend the equations to be valid on the rotating sphere. Not all applications in atmospheric modeling need to account for the rotation, but since our emphasis is on global modeling, we have to consider it.
