Heya guys I was wondering if you could help me out with something,
Buys law states that “if you stand with your back to the wind in the northern hemisphere, then the area of low pressure is on your left and the area of high pressure is on your right”
However the horizontal component of the earth’s wind (virtually all of it) is due to air moving from areas of high pressure to area of low pressure. Well that type of wind anyway
.
So surely if you stand with your back to the wind then the low pressure area is in front of you and the high pressure area is behind you (as wind moves from high to low)
??
Thanks for any responses in advance
