In the northern hemisphere, winds associated with a high-pressure system blow clockwise towards the center.
The winds that blow between the subtropical high pressure zone and the sub-polar low pressure zone are called westerly winds. These winds curve to the east because of the Coriolis effect.
Westerlies Winds
trade winds
westerlies
On a global scale there are four major air pressure zones. There's the equatorial low, the subtropical hights, the subpolar lows, and the polar hights.together they carry air back and forth between the equator and the poles and between earths atmosphere and it's surface
The subtropical jet stream lies between the westerlies and trade winds.
The polar jet stream is generally stronger than the subtropical jet stream
tropical polar subtropical
Polar jet stream is stronger.

The subtropical jet stream lies between the westerlies and trade winds.
High or low pressure lies along the subtropical jet stream, depending on the time of year. The pressure gradient follows the path of the jet stream.
The polar jet stream is generally stronger than the subtropical jet stream. The subtropical jet stream lies between the westerlies and trade winds.
The polar jet stream is generally stronger than the subtropical jet stream
tropical polar subtropical
Temperate and polar zones are cooler than subtropical
Hot subtropical deserts and polar deserts are extreme. Subtropical deserts are generally very hot while polar deserts are very cold.
Polar jet stream is stronger.
There is a polar and subtropical jet in each hemisphere.
