Answer 8

if you look at that image I posted, it looks like the answer is some kind of westerlie wind

so prevailing westerlies sounds right

Answer 9

Well Jim's map nails them as westerlies.

Wiki's map is a bit fuzzier and puts the westerlies more north, but wiki doesn't assign spcific latitides, either.

In the end I'd go with Jim's map and call them westerlies.
