Use a value of 7.6 e-5 s-1 as appropriate for 31.5 deg Latitude. Note that with the specified geostrophic winds and this value of f the boundary layer winds will not equilibrate to their observed value. This is not particularly meaningful as the value of geostrophic winds were only roughly estimated for the purposes of this cases definition.
