    The authors study the initial-boundary value problem for three-dimensional rotating Navier-Stokes flow in a half-space \(\mathbb{R}^+_3= \{x= (x_1, x_2, x_3)\mid x_3> 0\}\) with initial data nondecreasing at infinity. The natural space for initial data is the space \(X= \dot{\mathbb{B}}_{\infty,1}(\mathbb{R}^2, L^p(\mathbb{R}_+))\), the space of all \(L^p(\mathbb{R}_+)\)-valued \(\dot{\mathbb{B}}^0_{\infty,1}\) functions in \(\mathbb{R}^2\). Here \(\mathbb{R}_+:= (0,\infty)\), and \(\dot{\mathbb{B}}^)_{\infty, 1}\) is the homogeneous Besov space which is strictly smaller than \(L^\infty\). The authors prove, locally in time, existence and uniqueness of solutions to a boundary layer problem in a vicinity of a stationary solution called the Ekman spiral.
