This works aims at studying the impact of the cosine terms of the Coriolis force, that are usually neglected in geophysical fluid dynamics, leading to the so-called traditional approximation. Mathematical well-posedness argu- ments for simplified models, as well as numerical simulations, are presented in order to suggest the use of these terms in large scale ocean modelling. 1. Introduction. In this article, we aim at studying the impact of some rotation terms in (simplified) ocean models. We start with the Shallow Water Equations, obtained from the incompressible Navier Stokes Equations with free surface under the shallow water approximation. This model has been studied by numerous au- thors, both in the inviscid [22, 1] and viscous cases [8, 18] ; it has been widely used for theoretical studies and idealized numerical simulations: this is the framework of this article. Conversely, the operational oceanographic research community rather uses the Primitive Equations ([2, 7, 17, 21]).
