In this paper we describe the weak solutions of the Navier‐Stokes equations with a large Coriolis term as the Rossby and the Ekman numbers go to zero in a special domain with various boundary conditions. This work extends the results (in the case of well‐prepared initial data) in [19, 30]. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
