The trade winds move air masses from west to east across the United States.

The polar easteriles move air masses from west to east across the United States.

The prevailing westerlies move air masses from west to east across the United States but may be deflected by the jet stream.

The warm air of the Gulf Stream causes air masses to move from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.
