What Winds associated most closely with Greenland and Antarctica?

The winds most closely associated with Greenland and Antarctica are the polar easterlies. These winds blow from the east to the west near the poles, influenced by the cold temperatures and high pressure in these regions. In Antarctica, the katabatic winds, which are cold, dense winds that flow down from the ice sheets, are also significant, contributing to the local climate. Together, these winds play a crucial role in the polar weather systems and ice dynamics.

What is the direction of westerlies in new zealand?

Winds are categorised according to the direction from which they blow - so a Northerly over NZ blows from the tropics towards the south and is usually a warmer air flow, while a southerly, blowing from Antarctica, would be chilly. Westerly winds over NZ are the prevailing winds, that is, they blow from that direction most often. Westerlies blow from Australia, across the Tasman Sea and approach NZ along its West Coast.
