Unless you mean solar wind, you are likely referring to the jet stream, which can affect air travel arrival times and the smoothness of the trip.
What else can I help you with?
What is anticyclone winds?
Anticyclonic winds are centers of high atmospheric pressure.
Why are earths atmospheric winds deflected in a predictable manner?
rotation
How might atmospheric pressure over the pacific ocean affect how the trade winds blow?
High-pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean can strengthen the trade winds by creating a pressure gradient that drives the winds. Conversely, low-pressure systems can weaken the trade winds by reducing the pressure gradient. These variations in atmospheric pressure can impact the intensity and direction of the trade winds over the Pacific Ocean.
What would NOT be associated with stable atmospheric conditions?
Turbulent winds and rapidly changing temperatures would not be associated with stable atmospheric conditions. Stable conditions typically involve calm winds and consistent temperatures over a period of time.
What is the Significance of atmospheric pressure?
The atmospheric pressure plays a huge role when determining the weather. If the pressure is high, winds will be more active.
Winds that blow mainly from one direction are is called?
Winds that blow mainly from one direction are called prevailing winds. These are the dominant winds that occur consistently in a particular region due to global atmospheric circulation patterns.
Is disturbance in weather condition accompanied by winds and caused by low atmospheric pressure?
yes
Is the atmospheric pressure equal everywhere?
No - that's why we get winds. Winds are caused by air flowing from high-pressure areas to low-pressure zones. AVERAGE atmospheric pressure at ground level is 14 psi. (pounds per square inch)
What are the winds that blow east to west on both sides of the equator are called?
The winds that blow from east to west on both sides of the equator are called the trade winds. These winds are caused by the Coriolis effect and play a significant role in global atmospheric circulation.
What currents and winds must have moved Columbus ship as he sailed west?
Part of the atmospheric gyre we call the Trade Winds moved Columbus where he wished to go.
How is density important to weather?
Winds follow air pressure gradients and these are determined by atmospheric density.
Which winds are not planetary winds?
Local winds, such as sea breezes and mountain winds, are not planetary winds. These winds are driven by local temperature and pressure differences rather than the global atmospheric circulation patterns that produce the planetary winds.
