Global Wind Day

We all know those dominant prevailing wind patterns that blow in a constant, steady direction right?? Well, they actually are found across the earth and go by the name Global winds. Global winds are winds that have tradewinds, westerlies and polar easterlies all in one style and direction of wind. Global winds are the earth's heating and air conditioning system.

Global wind day is an event that occurs on June 15th worldwide. Many have studied and worked on global winds throughout the years. Thousands of individuals are involved in production of energy from the wind but wind energy is a mystery. Global wind day is the day when wind farms are celebrated.

A wind farm is a group of wind turbines in the same location used to produce electricity. One farm may consist of several hundred individual wind turbines. The land between the turbines is often used for agricultural or other purposes. The three largest onshore wind farms are located in China, India and the United States.
