All these can be explained by simple gear mechanism. You have to put three gears A B C in a row above the equator and below the equator. Above the equator westerlies move in anticlockwise direction and below it moves in clockwise direction. So two gears move in opposite direction. This is normal phenomena. Energy for this is provided by sun. As equator is hottest, air is bound to go upwards. It can go all the way to polar region and go down. But this does not happen and you have three cells. That means Hadley cell, Ferrel cell and polar cell. In Hadley cell at equator air moves upwards at equator. From there it moves towards polar direction and then at tropic of cancer and tropic of Capricorn it it goes downwards. As air from there has already travelled to equator. Then Ferrel cell behave against the natural law. That means air flows from hot to cold region. Energy for this abnormal movement is provided by Hadley cell as well as polar cell. Here both the cells provide 'equal' energy. Then you have polar cell. It is normal to move air from cold region to hot region. As air from hot region will go up. So it needs no explanation. So in trade winds air moves from tropic of cancer and Capricorn to equator, in north and south poles respectively. In Ferrel cells you have westerlies. Air flows from tropic of cancer and tropic of Capricorn to 60 latitude. And in polar cell you have air flowing from polar region to 60 latitude. It causes polar easterlies. So movements of winds are explained.
The strongest winds in a hurricane are typically found near the eyewall, which is the ring of clouds and thunderstorms surrounding the eye of the storm. Here, winds can exceed 150 mph and are associated with the most intense rainfall and storm surge.
"The prevailing wind is generally from the west in New York State. A southwest component becomes evident in winds during the warmer months while a northwest component is characteristic of the colder one-half of the year." From here: http://nysc.eas.cornell.edu/climate_of_ny.html
When typhoons (formed by Low Pressure Areas surrounding the country) are starting to develop, here's what happens:The upper-level winds, a.k.a. shears are winds that stop LPAs from developing. When they get weaker, the LPA moves inner and beats the shears.Afterwards, the LPA turns into a depression if it has strong circulation and a good amount of thunderstorms that stay together for a long time enough.Then, as the depression goes stronger, it later turns to be a storm then a typhoon.This is the DST.Depression TAEE.....TAEEStormTyphoon.Typhoons leave your area then transfers to the next. However, it wears out once the time comes that the typhoon gets a weaker circulation. Then the upper-level winds destroy it.Hope I helped. :)
Doldrums: High precipitation, little winds Horse latitudes: The trade winds and westerlies originate here Subpolar low: Lies along the polar jet stream -Apex- :)
Trade winds are found in the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) which is one term used when talking about trade winds. Low level trade winds near the equator are also reffered to as easterlies. In the Northern Hemisphere, the trade winds blow from the northeast and are known as the Northeast Trade Winds; in the Southern Hemisphere, the winds blow from the southeast and are called the Southeast Trade Winds. So it depends what you are looking for here...
trade winds
Trade winds: These are persistent easterly winds that flow towards the equator from around 30 degrees latitude, generated by the Earth's rotation and the temperature differences between the equator and the poles. Westerlies: These prevailing winds blow from the west in the mid-latitudes, around 30 to 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres. They are responsible for the movement of weather systems across continents. Polar easterlies: These are cold prevailing winds that blow from the polar regions towards the mid-latitudes, between 60 and 90 degrees latitude in both hemispheres. They are weaker than the other wind belts due to the smaller temperature gradient between the poles and mid-latitudes.
These are known as trade winds. They blow consistently from east to west in both hemispheres between the equator and 30 degrees latitude. Trade winds are crucial for navigation and have a big influence on weather patterns.

You can understand the same through the diagram of Hadley cells, Ferrel cells and Polar cells. You have pairs of them in both the north and the south hemispheres. You have very cold north and south poles. The equator is hottest. So the air should flow from north and south poles to the equator. This air flow will be in opposite direction. The same air should go up at the equator and then should flow to the north and south poles. But the distance is too long and you have three cells in the north hemisphere and three cells in the south hemisphere. So you have gear like mechanism to facilitate the air flow. So all the six cells move in opposite direction to each other. So you have the pair of Hadley cells that moves in opposite direction to each other. So air flows from cold to hot region, towards the equator in both the cases. In case of the Polar cells also, air flows from cold region to hot region. Now you have to explain the flow of Ferrel cell. Here the air flows in opposite direction. This cell gets energy from the Hadley cell and Polar cell. Both of them give equal energy to Ferrel cell. This happens due to gear like mechanism and explains the reverse flow of the air in case of the Ferrel cell. That is why the westerlies flows in opposite direction to trade winds and polar easterlies.
Colonial trades originated when the Pilgrims came over on the Mayflower to the New World. They set up camps to trade for items needed to sustain life here.

This means the normal direction of the wind. Here are some sentences.The prevailing winds are from the southwest.This gale is opposite of the prevailing winds.
I'm really don't' know this but let me see, the westerlies will bring air from the north, while during winter..... yes this could be true... A.K.A i could of really screwed up right here
