Winds are both limited and global, and their changing, overall patterns are governed by Newton's second law of motion. The constant, eastward, background flow of the atmosphere is known as the geostrophic wind and results from the interaction of the atmospheric density, latitudinal gradients of atmospheric pressure, and the Earth's rotation.
