Russian or German winds, depending upon which way they are blowing away from the Poles.
Catabatic winds are those that flow down slope from a cold region.
The cold air on the Antarctic Plateau for example, is about 3000 m high, and the air is hence dry (= heavier than moist air), very cold, and therefore dense. This flows towards the Antarctic coast in a continuous flow.
I seem to remember that at the French Adelie Station, the wind flow averaged a few tens of km per hour all the time. When they rebuilt the station after a fire, they built it mainly underground to escape this demoralizing effect.
Mawson had a few words on the subject also.
The NZ and the US bases at McMurdo Sound, are sufficiently remote from the mountains to escape this wind.

What winds blow west in the middle latitudes?
The Westerlies.
Global wind that blow west to east are called?
They're called westerlies. Good luck with your paper!
What is the difference between trade winds and westerlies?
Trade winds blow from east to west while the westerlies blow from west to east. Trade winds blow near the equator whereas the westerlies blow in the middle latitudes.
Are winds named for the direction in which they blow?
No come from
Why do hurricanes change direction around 30 north latitude?
Around 30 degrees latitude is the approximate area of transition from the tropics to the middle latitudes. The tropics are lergely dominated by the trade winds, which blow out of the east. The middle latitudes are dominated by the premailing westerlies, which blow out of the west. The dominant wind pattern of a given latitude largely dictates the direction of storm movement.
Where do winds near the equator blow from mainly?
Easterlies is not the answer . The answer is trade winds .
What winds blow away from 30 degree latitudes?
Trade winds
What winds blow west in the middle latitudes?
The Westerlies.
What causes winds to blow?
Well, it has to do with high pressure, low pressure, horse latitudes and doldrums.
Prevailing winds that blow from east to west?
Either the Polar Easterlies or the Trade Winds, depending on latitude.
What is the difference between trade winds and westerlies?
Trade winds blow from east to west while the westerlies blow from west to east. Trade winds blow near the equator whereas the westerlies blow in the middle latitudes.
Global wind that blow west to east are called?
They're called westerlies. Good luck with your paper!
Why do upper-level winds in the middle-latitudes blow from the west?
High altitudes winds at mid-latitudes blow from the west because they are influenced by the earth rotation. But it depends on the scale and time you are talking about.
What are trading winds?
You mean trade winds. And they are winds that normally blow in the same direction on a regular basis.
What are global winds that blow from the same direction?
prevailing winds
What are the prevailing surface winds at about 15 degrees north and south latitudes called?
The prevailing surface winds at about 15 degrees north and south latitudes are called the trade winds. In the northern hemisphere, they blow from the northeast, while in the southern hemisphere, they blow from the southeast. These steady winds are caused by the Earth's rotation and pressure differences between equatorial regions and higher latitudes.
What is global winds that blow constanty from the same direction?
prevailing winds
