BUFF originally refers to the B-52 Stratofortress long-range strategic bomber. The enormous aircraft was extensively used for carpet bombing missions in Vietnam and as a first-strike or retaliatory strike nuclear weapon delivery vehicle during the cold war. The crews rarely referred to the aircraft with its real name, instead they used the acronym BUFF, for Big Ugly Fat Fucker. The fuckers shot down two of our BUFFs last night during a carpet-bombing run.
What direction do global winds and currents flow near the equator? Global winds and currents near the equator flow east to west. The global wind belt located north and south of the equator is called trade winds.
Global Wind Patterns. Global wind patterns creates the general circulation of the atmosphere around the Earth with warm air constantly moving away from the equator toward the poles, and cold air flowing from the poles towards the equator.The circulation of the atmosphere produces belts of prevailing winds around the Earth.n the tropics wind blowing toward the equator is deflected to the right and form the northeasterly and southeasterly trade winds. Air flowing away from the high pressure over the poles is deflected to the right to form the polar easterlies. Between these two areas in the mid-latitudes are the westerly winds.
