windpathways
Windpathways refers to the atmospheric currents that facilitate the movement of air masses across the globe. These pathways are not fixed but are dynamic and influenced by a variety of factors including temperature gradients, Earth's rotation (the Coriolis effect), and the distribution of land and sea. Understanding windpathways is crucial for meteorology, aviation, and even the study of climate change.
The primary drivers of global windpathways are differential heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. This
The Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, deflects moving air masses. In the Northern Hemisphere,
