What global surface winds blow across mid latitudes in northern hemisphere?

Answer 1

These are the prevailing westerlies or simply the westerlies.

Convection between warm air at the equator and cold air at the poles interacts with the rotation of the Earth to create a fairly complex pattern of winds. We get winds from the east, the trade winds, near the equator and winds from the west, the prevaiing westerlies, at mid-latitudes like the United States or the southern half of South America.
