Global winds, artwork C017 / 7234

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 winds that encircle our planet. Created by the talented artist Carlos Clarivan, this computer-generated masterpiece showcases the intricate paths these winds take as they traverse across continents and oceans. Set against a striking black background, the artwork highlights the interconnectedness between Earth's atmosphere and its rotation. The Coriolis effect, caused by this rotation, influences the direction and speed of these winds. Prevailing winds are depicted as those blowing predominantly from a single general direction over specific points on Earth's surface, while dominant winds represent trends in wind direction with the highest velocity. The illustration provides an invaluable tool for geographical studies and meteorology enthusiasts alike. It allows us to observe global wind patterns on both regional and oceanic scales, aiding in weather predictions and understanding climate dynamics. Moreover, it serves as a reminder of our planet's complex systems at work. With its meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy, this artwork is not only visually stunning but also educational. It invites viewers to contemplate Earth's natural wonders from space while appreciating how various factors shape our world's weather phenomena. "Global Winds" stands as a testament to Carlos Clarivan's artistic prowess in merging science with creativity—a true masterpiece that seamlessly combines beauty with knowledge.
