Distinguish between surface winds and upper atmosphere winds?
Surface winds blow along the surface of the earth.Sometimes they blow in the same direction all year around .Sometimes they blow mainly in one direction for other part of the year.For e.g the monsoons in the sub-continent. In other places the winds are likely to blow in different direction from day to day.Winds speeds can vary from very slow to 100 km pr/hr. Upper atmosphere winds blow at about 10,000 meters above the surface of the earth. They are caused by the rotation of the earth and blow steadily in the same direction all year round.They can reach up to speed 350 km to 450 km/hr.They are referred to as the jet stream.
