Unlike the westerlies in the middle latitudes, the polar easterlies are often weak and irregular.
2.
From pole to equator, they are the polar easterlies, the westerlies, and the trade winds.
3.
Fairbanks, to use your example, is far enough North that the prevailing winds are polar easterlies.
4.
The southern polar easterlies are mostly over Antarctica.
5.
Such " polar easterlies " are a common feature of the system of winds that blow over high latitudes.
6.
All of this unequal heat, rushing air and spinning Earth combine to form global currents such as the polar easterlies.
7.
These prevailing winds blow from the polar easterlies are one of the five primary wind zones, known as wind belts, that make up our atmosphere's circulatory system.
8.
This was later revoked however as the air coming across from Killimordaly and Loughrea ( usually a Polar Easterly breeze ) was said to have contaminated the clean air over Bullaun.
9.
The "'polar easterlies "'( also "'Polar Hadley cells "') are the dry, cold prevailing winds that blow from the high-pressure areas of the polar highs at the subsides at the poles creating the high pressure, forcing an equatorward outflow of air; that outflow is then deflected westward by the Coriolis effect.
