Letter: Letters : Every which way

Published 30 August 1997

From Eva Koudela

London

Tony Sumner’s assertion that you can get only North and South winds at the
North Pole is not true (Letters, 2 August, p 50). Imagine a whirlwind centred on
the Pole. Then you have either an East or West wind, depending on which way it
rotates.
