He is known as a Master Mariner, the First European to Understand that there are "Rivers of Wind". These are the "Trade Winds" that circle North and South of the Equator, in the Tropical Ocean Basins. The North Equatorial Trade Winds Circle Counter Clockwise, Opposite for the South Equatorials. Columbus sailed South, then West to America, then North, then East to Europe, downwind all the Way, by Riding the North Atlantic Equatorial Cyclone. Pure Science. Parallel to the Equator, 10 degrees North or South, the Trades are Easterly, they blow from East to West. 30 degrees N or S the trades are Westerly.
