Abstract: We study the stabilizing effect of rotational forcing in the nonlinear setting of two-dimensional shallow-water and more general models of compressible Euler equations. In [H. Liu and E. Tadmor, Phys. D 188 (2004), no. 3-4, 262-276] we have shown that the pressureless version of these equations admit global smooth solution for a large set of sub-critical initial configurations. In the present work we prove that when rotational force dominates the pressure, it emph{prolongs} the life-span of smooth solutions for t < ln(1/d); here d << 1 is the ratio of the pressure gradient measured by the inverse squared Froude number, relative to the dominant rotational forces measured by the inverse Rossby number. Our study reveals a ``nearby periodic-in-time approximate solution in the small d-regime, upon which hinges the long time existence of the exact smooth solution. These results are in agreement with the close-to periodic dynamics observed in the ``near inertial oscillation (NIO) regime which follows oceanic storms. Indeed, our results indicate the existence of smooth, ``approximate periodic solution for a time period of emph{days}, which is the relevant time period found in NIO obesrvations.
