While the question/answer below is about weather, the information is the same for just wind.\n\nQ: Why does most of our weather come from the west if the Earth is rotating the opposite way?\n\nA: When looking down at the North Pole, the Earth spins counterclockwise around its axis. A point on the equator travels at about 1,100 mph, while a point directly at the poles does not move at all. An apparent force called the Coriolis force results from this difference in speeds, deflecting objects to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. The Coriolis force, combined with solar heating patterns across the Earth, create distinctive wind patterns that drive weather systems.\n\nOne prevailing surface wind pattern that results is located in the mid-latitudes, between 30 and 60° North. Solar heating alone, without the Earth's rotation, would produce prevailing southerly winds. The Coriolis force, however, deflects these winds to the right, creating prevailing winds out of the west and southwest (the westerlies). \n\nSolar heating patterns in the tropics, from the equator to about 30° North, combined with the Coriolis force, produce weak prevailing winds out of the east (the easterlies). Southern regions of the USA, including Florida, are affected by the westerlies at times and the easterlies at others."\n\nHope this helps explain it.

There's an old saying;\nRed sunset by night,a sailer's delight. Nice the next day.\nRed sunrise by morn, better be warned. Stormy weather ahead.\nThis has always been true.

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.

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.

The general patter of wind now is a three-cell model, with sinking air at 30 degrees lat and rising at 60.\n\nWith no rotation, wind would move straight from the cold, sinking poles to the warm, rising equatorial region, i.e. a one-cell model.

The same as everywhere else.\n\nHigher wind speeds disperse pollutants.  Wind direction determines where pollutants go.

The predominant wind patterns are from the Ocean to land. The water is relatively cold off the shores of all California due to the Japan current. The energy to create storms that move inland are not there. Storms brought in from the East are often dissappated by the high mountain ranges along the California shore, in OC, as little as 10 miles away. The tremendous, fast uprise of wet air moving west dumps the water in the mountains and leaves little to effect the California shore. Due to the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic, East Coast storms are much more dangerous and prevalent. The Great Planes have storms generated by massive cold 'bubbles' of artic air hitting the moist air from the Gulf or Atlantic...California is not positioned to have these effects...we have Earthquakes and threat of Tsunamis instead.

To the nearest port or marina as soon as there is a fair wind

air naturally comes from high pressure fronts to low pressure fronts\n\nalso if you look at weather maps those wierd looking squiggly lines \nthe closer together they are the higher wind speed you'll have
