What are the 5 types of winds?

Types of Winds\n\n Trade Winds:  In both hemispheres, the winds that blow from 30 degrees latitude from the equator are called trade winds.  The Coriolis effect causes the trade winds to curve. \n\n The Doldrums and Horse Latitudes: Trade winds of Northern and  Southern Hemispheres meet in an area of low pressure around  the equator  called the doldrums.  Sinking air crates an area of high area called horse latitudes. Here the winds are weak.\n\n Westerlies:  Wind belts found in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres between 30 degrees and 60 degrees latitude. They flow toward the poles in opposite direction of the trade winds.\n\n Polar Easterlies: Wind belts that extend from the poles to 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres. They are formed from sinking, cold air moving from the poles toward 60 degrees north and 60 degrees south latitude.\n\n Jet  Streams: Narrow belts of high speed winds that blow in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere.\n\n Local Winds: An area's geography for example a mountain or a shoreline sometimes produces temperature differences that cause local winds like land and sea breezes.

The wind always blows in the same general direction.  It usually blows from west to east, except between 30 degrees N. and S. of the equator. There, it blows from east to west.

Wind is the roughly horizontal movement of air (as opposed to an air current) caused by uneven heating of the Earth's surface. It occurs at all scales, from local breezes generated by heating of land surfaces and lasting tens of minutes to global winds resulting from solar heating of the Earth. The two major influences on the atmospheric circulation are the differential heating between the equator and the poles, and the rotation of the planet (Coriolis effect).\n\nGiven a difference in barometric pressure between two air masses, a wind will arise between the two which tends to flow from the area of high pressure to the area of low pressure until the two air masses are at the same pressure, although these flows will be modified by the Coriolis effect in the extratropics.\n\nWinds can be classified either by their scale, the kinds of forces which cause them (according to the atmospheric equations of motion), or the geographic regions in which they exist. There are global winds, such as the wind belts which exist between the atmospheric circulation cells. There are upper-level winds, such as the jet streams. There are synoptic-scale winds that result from pressure differences in surface air masses in the middle latitudes, and there are winds that come about as a consequence of geographic features such as the sea breeze. Mesoscale winds are those which act on a local scale, such as gust fronts. At the smallest scale are the microscale winds which blow on a scale of only tens to hundreds of metres and are essentially unpredictable, such as dust devils and microbursts.

tornados have a much higher wind scale than hurricanes do.  an F5 tornado has winds up to 318mph.  hurricanes go up to category 5.  a category 5 has winds higher than 155mph, but I've never heard of one that's had winds higher than 200mph.  it's a misconception that hurricanes cause more damage b/c of their sheer size, but the most damaging part of a hurricane is the Northeast side of the storm.  whereas a tornado is damaging no matter where it hits you b/c it just sucks everything right on up and can go on for miles and miles.  hurricanes almost always weaken when they completely come ashore.

Hamsim.\nThe name comes from 50 (in hebrew: Hamishim).  The winds are "supposed" to blow 25 days in the spring and 25 days in the fall.

WHAT IS WIND?\n\nMovement of air between pressure systems as they try to balance out is called wind. Air flows from high pressure systems to low ones to try to reach equilibrium. In the constantly developing and changing system of the atmosphere this never actually happens.

Wind is the motion of microscopic particles from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure.  You can feel the particles bumping against your skin, but they are too tiny to see.  Try this:  sometimes you can see light ripples from heat rising off the ground.  This is light hitting a medium (air) and being momentarily refracted from particle motion.  In this case, you can see wind!

The wind is just the observable and measurable manifestation of air molecules being drawn en masse from one place to another by a differential in atmospheric pressure between the two places.  What causes most of these pressure differentiations is (a) earth's rotation creating friction between the lower and upper components of the atmosphere, and (b) temperature gradients in the atmosphere and the oceans caused by the heating action of our star, the Sun.\n\nLet's go fly a kite!

Wind Patterns probably refer to the Global Wind Patterns or Prevaling Winds that are associated with different latitudes.\n\nThis is probably best illustrated by the figure from the Texas A&M Desesrts course web site referenced below.\n\nTo summarize, \nthe polar latitudes between 60 and 90 degrees (both north and south) have prevaling "Polar Easterly" winds.\nLatitudes between 30 and 60 degrees (again both north and south) have prevaling "Westerly" winds.\nThe region between 30 degrees north to 30 degrees south have prevaling easterly "Trade Winds."
