The pressure gradient force (Pgf) is a force that tries to equalize pressure differences. This is the force that causes high pressure to push air toward low pressure. Thus air would flow from high to low pressure if the pressure gradient force was the only force acting on it. How the coriolis force works on a rotating disk. However, because of the earth's rotation, there is second force, the Coriolis force that affects the direction of wind flow.
Global Winds and Local Winds continued What Are Local Winds? Most of the United States is in the belt of prevailing westerly winds, which move from west to east. However, youâve probably noticed that the wind in your neighbor-hood does not always blow from the west to the east. This is because global winds are not the only winds that blow. Local winds are also important. Local winds are winds that generally move over short distances and can blow from any direction. Like the other wind systems, local winds are caused by differences in temperature. Many of these temperature differences are caused by geographic features, such as
