There are different kinds of winds. They are distinguished for their s, strength and duration. Monsoon winds are stable, changes its direction, blowing from the ocean in summer, in winter from the land, characterized by a tropical coastal regions and some countries in temperate regions (Far East). Monsoon climate is characterized by high humidity in summer. The stability of the monsoon is associated with a stable distribution of atmospheric pressure during each season, and their seasonal change - a change in the distribution of pressure from season to season. Trade is a wind blowing between the tropics year-round in the Northern Hemisphere from the northeast, in the South - the southeast direction, being separated from one another windless strip. Breeze is the wind that blows on the coast of the seas and large lakes. The direction of the breeze changed twice a day: the day a breeze blowing from the sea warmed by sunlight daily coast. Night Breeze has the opposite direction. Speed of breeze is small and it is 1-5m/s, rarely more. Breeze is noticeable only in low total air transport, usually in the tropics and at mid-latitudes - a steady calm weather. More (or less water) is heated slowly the land due to the greater heat capacity of water. Warmer (and therefore lighter) air over land rises, creating a zone of low pressure. The result is a pressure differential between land and sea. Due to this pressure difference the cool air moves over the sea to the land, creating a cool sea breeze on the coast. In the absence of stronger winds, the s of sea breeze is proportional to the temperature difference. At night, due to less heat, cools faster drying of the sea, and sea breeze stopped. When the temperature falls below the land surface of the reservoir, there is a reverse pressure differential that causes continental breeze that blows from land to sea. In most parts of the earth the winds blow in a certain direction. Near the poles are usually dominated by easterly winds, and in temperate latitudes - the Western, while in the tropics again easterly winds prevail. Local effects of wind created by the formation depend on local geographic features. One such effect is the temperature difference between the not very distant from each other by areas that could be caused by different coefficients of absorption of sunlight or heat capacity of different surfaces.
