We investigate the geometry of the central extension D̂µ(S2) of the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of the 2-sphere equipped with an L2-metric, for which geodesics correspond to solutions of the incompressible Euler equation with Coriolis force. In particular, we calculate the Misiołek curvature of this group. This value is related to the existence of a conjugate point and its positivity directly implies the positivity of the sectional curvature.
