Ad-hoc addition of a centrifugal drift term based on solving the equations in a non-inertial frame. This (hopefully) enables the essential features of centrifugal forces to be captured, at least in the linear and early nonlinear regime when the change in the rotation is small.
Adding centrifugal terms properly means relaxing the Boussinesq approximation, and keeping enough terms in the vorticity advection to recover the centrifugal and Coriolis terms.
