Global winds, artwork C017 / 7235
Global winds. Computer artwork showing the path of the prevailing and dominant winds around the globe, caused by the rotation of the Earth and the Coriolis effect. Prevailing winds are winds that blow predominantly from a single general direction over a particular point on Earths surface. Dominant winds are the trends in direction of wind with the highest speed over a particular point on the Earths surface

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Global Winds" offers a mesmerizing visual representation of the prevailing and dominant wind patterns that encircle our planet. Created by artist Carlos Clarivan, this computer-generated illustration showcases the intricate paths these winds take as they traverse across continents, oceans, and the atmosphere. The image is set against a pristine white background, allowing viewers to focus solely on the intricate details of Earth's atmospheric dynamics. The vibrant blue hues symbolize the vastness of our world's oceans while highlighting their crucial role in shaping global weather patterns. By illustrating how prevailing winds blow predominantly from a single direction over specific points on Earth's surface, this artwork emphasizes the impact of both planetary rotation and the Coriolis effect. These forces not only influence regional climates but also dictate wind speeds and directions. "Global Winds" serves as an invaluable tool for geographers, meteorologists, and anyone interested in understanding Earth's complex weather systems. It provides insight into how different regions experience distinct wind trends based on their geographical location. Carlos Clarivan's remarkable creation invites us to contemplate the interconnectedness between landmasses and oceans when it comes to shaping our planet's climate. This print captures nature's awe-inspiring beauty while reminding us of humanity's reliance on these natural phenomena for survival.
