Default Relativitistic transformation for E and B in rotating frames

I don't know what "E" and "B" mean in a
non-inertial coordinate system, and the only way I know to figure it out
is to relate them to E and B in an inertial system (so you're back where
you started).

IOW: this question is more complicated than how they transform, it is
also a question of what they mean.

Thank you, Tom

The problem has a physical meaning, I am trying to relate the (E,B)
measured at a certain latitude on the Earth surface to the values
predicted at a different latitude (same longitude) as seen by an
observer that follows the common meridian moving at tangential speed
