Wind, and wind pattern. Northern Hemisphere. Checkride preperation.

The rules in the Northern Hemisphere are

1 Air circulates in a clockwise direction around a high pressure system.

2 Air circulates in a counterclockwise direction around a low pressure system.

3 The closer the isobars are together the stronger the wind speed.

4 Due to surface friction up to about 2000 feet AGL above Ground Level. Surface winds do not exactly parallel the isobars, instead they move outward from the center of the high toward low pressure.

5 Coriolis force is at a right angle to wind direction and directly proportional to wind speed.

The force deflects air to the right in the Northern Hemisphere.
