Since the winds in the area are prevailing westerlies, False Cape Horn is a lee shore which from the west superficially resembles the real Cape Horn to the south.
43.
But several days into the leg the heavy prevailing westerlies filled in accompanied by a parade of tightly spun low-pressure systems, and a 3, 000-mile sleigh ride was underway.
44.
The low-altitude stratus clouds that make up the June Gloom cloud layer form over the nearby ocean, and are transported over the coastal areas by the region's prevailing westerly winds.
45.
The prevailing westerly winds in the Manawatu-Southern Hawkes Bay region provide a consistent Median Wind Velocity which is the key relevant measure for wind generation as a renewable energy source.
46.
The eastern side of the site is protected from the prevailing westerly winds on the Atlantic meaning that less hardy plants are able to grow in areas of cliff scrub.
47.
The key is a seesaw sort of winter circulation pattern in which prevailing westerly winds in the Arctic, sub-Arctic and North Atlantic vary between two basic states, one stronger and one weaker.
48.
In summer, high pressure often pushes the prevailing westerlies north of many oceanic climates, often creating a drier summer climate ( for example in the Pacific Northwest of the USA and Canada ).
49.
It offers sheltered archorage from the prevailing westerly and as such Several small tour companies ( such as Fiordland Expeditions and Real Journeys ) use this as a good overnight location to moor.
50.
The ejected matter _ mostly hydrogen and helium gas _ becomes part of the " solar wind " that blows through the solar system, as winds called the " prevailing westerlies " blow across America.
