The majority of the ash is carried from west to east, although a minor portion was caught between a high pressure center to the north and a low pressure center to the south. Since the winds around the high rotateed clockwise, and the winds around the low rotated counter clockwise, the wind between them traveled from east to west. What ash was caught in that wind went west toward North America. The rest of the ash (the largest part) was carried by westerly winds across northern Europe.
