    Wind is the stream of air. More in general, it is the flow of the gases which invent a mood; since current of heavens is not only an Earth based phenomenon.
    Winds are generally off the record by their spatial scale, their alacrity, and types of navy that cause them, the geographic regions in which they come to mind, or their effect. Because of disparity heating and the fact that warm air rises and cool air falls, there happen circulations that (on a non-rotating planet) would show the way to an equator-to-pole flow in the upper frame of mind and a pole-to-equator flow at inferior levels.

    Because of the Earth's rotation, this simple situation is vastly modified in the real atmosphere. In almost all circumstances the horizontal component of the wind is much better than the vertical — the exemption being violent convection. As a result of the Coriolis force, winds in the northern hemisphere always flood clockwise when seen from above) in the region of a far above the ground heaviness neighborhood and counter clockwise  just in relation to a low stress area the call off occurs in the southern hemisphere.
