In the Northern Hemisphere, I can see how the winds would blow from, say, the States to Europe (thus aiding air travel in that direction, for example). However, I question whether the direction isn't reversed for the Southern Hemisphere (the Amazon) and-or whether it mightn't be true that some of the Sahara blows toward the Amazon, from West to East. Or, even if it blows on the other direction, whether it mightn't be true that the debris from the Sahara end up in the Amazon, having traveled much of the globe's circumfrence.
