| At the mid-latitudes, the winds are called the westerlies, and at the highest latitudes, the winds are called the polar easterlies. |
|
| The weather had been superb, with persistent easterlies and a lot of sunshine. |
|
| Unlike westerlies and trade winds, the polar easterlies are not a global wind belt. |
|
| A second region of high pressure exists over the poles, where the descending air spreads outward to form the polar easterlies. |
|
| The polar front forms where the polar easterlies and the prevailing westerlies converge. |
|
| The British Isles lie at the convergence zone between the warm southwest antitrades and the cold polar easterlies. |
|
| Then, we'll have to deal with high pressures, first sailing downwind, before losing the wind completely or encountering easterlies. |
|
| Prevailing westerlies occur between the polar easterlies and trade winds. |
|
| Under sunny skies and brisk easterlies, we beam reach for a couple of hours with two other charter boats. |
|
| The winds over Antarctica are called the polar easterlies where winds blow from the east to the west. |
|
| In the summer, the most frequent winds tend to be easterlies that occur just ahead of frontal systems and northwesterlies that occur with its passage. |
|
| As in the middle latitudes, the presence of major landmasses, notably in the Northern Hemisphere, results in significant variations in these polar easterlies. |
|
| Wind patterns must have included strong polar easterlies at high northern latitudes, prevailing westerlies at midlatitudes, and northeast trade winds in the tropics. |
|
| By the third week, the winds increased again to moderate or strong from the northeast over Labrador while the Newfoundland area had light to moderate easterlies. |
|
| Near the poles easterlies created a subpolar gyre that rotated clockwise. |
