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.
Also as elevation or altitude increases, air becomes less dense. Unequal heating of the Earthâs surface also forms large global wind patterns. In area near the equator, the sun is almost directly overhead for most of the year. Warm air rises at the equator and moves toward the poles.At the poles, the cooler air sinks and moves back toward the equator. However, it is not this simple. Global winds do not move directly from north to south or south to north because the Earth rotates.rade Winds â About 30Â° north and south of the equator, the warm, moist air that rose vertically cools and begins to sink. Here the sky is clear. There are few clouds and little rainfall. Winds are calm.
