Westerly Wind Systems

Westerly Wind Systems is a large-scale atmospheric circulation pattern characterized by persistent winds blowing from the western direction, primarily in the mid-latitudes, that plays a dominant role in shaping marine wind regimes and influencing oceanic upwelling, surface currents, and air-sea interactions in coastal and open-ocean environments.
