Global surface and upper level winds
Still image of an animation showing a map of surface (white-coloured) and upper level winds (rainbow-coloured) travelling at 850 and 250 millibars. Faster winds are coloured in red whilst slower winds are coloured in blue. Surface winds are usually slower and have patterns such as easterly trade winds and westerlies.
