Variability in the wind fields arises from the presence of continents and seasonal solar heating, both unaccounted for in the idealized “model” used to explain global wind patterns.Consider an example scenario: at a hypothetical location, typical easterly winds blow at 20 kts. However, recent observations revealed 17 kt winds blowing northeast at the location. What must the variable winds have been to produce the observations? (where 0° is east, 90° is north, 180° is west, and 270° is south) [________1________] kts blowing toward [_____2_____] degrees.
