Polar Vortex - large region of cold, rotating air encircling Earth's polar regions, characterized by strong westerly winds that blow from west to east in the stratosphere, acting as a barrier that keeps cold air trapped near the poles., Chinook Vortex - warm, dry, and often strong downslope wind that occur on the leeward side of mountain ranges, like the Rocky Mountains, and are known for causing rapid temperature increases and potentially hazardous weather conditions, Pineapple Express wind - nickname for a type of atmospheric river, a narrow, fast-moving "river in the sky" that transports significant moisture from the tropical Pacific near Hawaii to the West Coast, often resulting in heavy rain, snow, and strong winds., Trade winds - persistent, east-to-west winds that blow towards the equator from the subtropical high-pressure belts, playing a crucial role in global weather patterns and historically aiding sailors, Monsoons - seasonal shifts in wind patterns due to temperature differences between land and water, leading to the formation of low-pressure areas over heated landmasses that draw in moist air from surrounding oceans, resulting in heavy rainfall., Breeze - local wind, characterized by light winds that blow from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas, with common examples including sea breezes, land breezes, mountain breezes, and valley breezes., Bora - strong, cold, and often gusty katabatic wind (a fall wind) that originates from the northeast and is common in areas near the Adriatic Sea and other similar regions, Mistral - strong, cold, and dry north-westerly wind that blows in southern France, particularly in the Rhône Valley and along the Mediterranean coast., Mountain and Valley Winds - local wind systems that reverse direction daily, with valley winds (anabatic) blowing uphill during the day and mountain winds (katabatic) blowing downhill at night due to temperature differences between slopes and valleys., Jet Stream - narrow bands of strong, high-altitude winds that generally blow from west to east, following the boundaries between hot and cold air masses, Wind Gust - a brief, sudden increase in wind speed, typically lasting less than 20 seconds, followed by a lull in wind speed,
