For general purposes, the wind direction is reported to eight compass points: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW. These directions can be further refined to 16 compass points with the addition of NNE ...

Mike Moss: The term "wind direction" is defined as the compass heading FROM which the wind is blowing. This is in contrast to the term "bearing," which indicates the direction toward which an ...

Now, scientists at NASA have created a new map showing the direction and speeds of the massive storm's wind gusts. The map, released by NASA's Earth Observatory on Jan. 29, shows especially strong ...

From this travel time, the team calculated how far the wind had blown in a given direction before being repelled by interstellar radiation, allowing the researchers to map the invisible edges of ...

MIKE MOSS SAYS: Sarah, The general protocol for wind direction in weather observations and forecasts is for the wind direction to indicate where the wind id blowing from. So a northeasterly wind ...

Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated. Different wind directions at the surface and aloft are not at all unusual. In fact, it is the case much more often than not.

But out of all the data we process, an old-fashioned surface map is still the best way ... The basic station plot shows temperature, dew point, wind direction, wind speed, cloud cover ...

You will see that some areas, the highest snow snowbelts, get hit with heavy lake effect with several wind directions. Here are the various wind directions and the purple shaded areas of heaviest ...

North and south of 30 degrees, the wind blows in all directions as storms go hither and yon, but a poleward direction is the most common so that the high pressure can disperse. This mass transport ...
