Global convection

What is the real definition

of Polar easterlies?

• Cold winds that blow from east to west near the north pole and the south pole. Polar easterlies begin as dense polar air that sinks.

• Steady winds that flow from west to east between latitudes 30N and 60N, and 30S and 60S

• Steady winds that flow from east to west between 30N latitude and 3N

What is the real definition

of Prevailing westies?

• Cold winds that blow from east to west near the north pole and the south pole. Polar easterlies begin as dense polar air that sinks.

• Steady winds that flow from west to east between latitudes 30N and 60N, and 30S and 60S

• Steady winds that flow from east to west between 30N latitude and 3N

What is the real definition

of Trade winds?

• Cold winds that blow from east to west near the north pole and the south pole. Polar easterlies begin as dense polar air that sinks.

• Steady winds that flow from west to east between latitudes 30N and 60N, and 30S and 60S

• Steady winds that flow from east to west between 30N latitude and 3N
