- Anomalous winds are departures from the average winds in speed and/or direction. For example, at 140°W longitude the winds (upper panel) were from the east. The anomalous winds (lower panel) were mostly small, essentially zero, meaning the actual winds were about the same as the long-term average in speed and direction.
