Evidence for this pressure difference can be seen by observing the tilt of the free surface of the fluid that rides up the side of the container, resulting in high pressure in the periphery, low pressure toward the center

In the fixed reference frame, the sum of all external forces provides the centripetal and Coriolis acceleration, while in a rotating reference frame, the sum of external forces on the object are balanced by the centrifugal and the Coriolis force. See the James Bond cartoon at
