But a person who studies winds is probably a meteorologist.

Aw, TEd, you got it wrong; a meaty urologist is a corpulent physician.

Why hasn't anyone mentioned the four winds of ancient times, i.e. Boreas, Auster, Euros, and Zehpyros? We've been anthropomorphising winds for some time, it seems, and it gets really personal when we realise that the air is more turbulent around state capitols - at least in the US!

One more wind: The Santa Anna, a dry east wind off the Mojave Desert that blows into Southern California..
