NOTE: Prevailing wind data is usually collected at airports, and can be affected by local geographic features such as river valleys, hills, etc. In general, the U.S. is in a band of westerlies, meaning the overall prevailing winds in the U.S. are from west to east (or southwest to northeast) – for this activity we will rely on this simplification, although in reality it is much more complex.

NOTE: Prevailing wind data is usually collected at airports, and can be affected by local geographic features such as river valleys, hills, etc. In general, the U.S. is in a band of westerlies, meaning the overall prevailing winds in the U.S. are from west to east (or southwest to northeast) – for this activity we will rely on this simplification, although in reality it is much more complex.
