Hence steadier westerlies would make for lessened latitudinal contrasts in climate not only by driving more warm water poleward but by causing more polar water to reach low latitudes.
Pleistocene, might shift the main storm track poleward even more than it is shifted by the milder solar changes during the twelve-year sunspot cycle.
The chief reason would be the greater expansion of the air in the equatorial low pressure belt and the consequent more abundant outflow of air at high altitudes in the form of anti-trades or winds returning poleward above the trades.
The warm currents which would flow poleward in inter-glacial epochs must have favored a prompt reintroduction of marine faunas driven out during times of glaciation.
Moreover, the greatest accumulations of ice in the glacial period were on the poleward border of the general regions where now the storms appear to increase most at times of solar activity.

On thepoleward borders of the two belts of "prevailing westerlies," a little outside the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, there are zones of low pressure.
The regions of calms and variable winds coinciding with the subtropical high-pressure belts lying on the poleward sides of the trade winds.
The belts of winds lying on the poleward sides of the subtropical high-pressure belts.
In the temperate zones of both hemispheres, on the poleward side of the high-pressure belts above mentioned, the general drift of the atmosphere near the earth's surface is from west to east.
The outward movement from the Tropics poleward halts where life conditions disappear, and there finds its boundary; but as life conditions advance or retreat with the seasons, so does that boundary.
The steep poleward pressure gradients of these southern oceans end in a trough of low pressure, girdling the earth at about the Antarctic circle.
This place was called the Upper Glacier Depot--and it marked the commencement of the third and final stage of the Poleward Journey.
They gave their services for nothing, and the only way in which we could repay them was to select two chief Petty Officers from their number, disrate them, and take them Poleward as ordinary seamen.
