Anomalous winds are departures from the average winds in speed and/or direction. For example, at 140°W longitude the winds (upper panel) were from the east. The anomalous winds (lower panel) were mostly small, essentially zero, meaning the actual winds were about the same as the long-term average in speed and direction. The anomalous winds along the equator across the tropical Pacific were generally ______." "a.moderately strong toward the east across the whole tropical Pacific b.moderately strong toward the west across the whole tropical Pacific c.essentially zero in the east and weakly westward in the west"
