Wind is air in motion and is described as to speed and direction-Out of the South at ten miles per hour, to give one. It is probably a corrollary of the earth"s rotation and centrifugal force. I never thought of it that way ( where does the wind come from) The direction can be refined ( from a weather observer"s standpoint, by tracking unmanned weather balloons, the Balloons float in the atmosphere and move at the speed and direction of the wind. They are tracked, viewing conditions permitting, by a special type of Theodolite called a Pibal Theodolite- or Pilot Balloon theodolite. The Pilot prefix is misleading as it assumes these things are under volitional, manned control, they are not.
