It doesn't have the detail about the trade winds, but there is this article about how the Outer Banks was nearly chosen as a test site, based partly on the input of a meteorologist: https://www.pilotonline.com/life/article_6662e143-8b1c-51b8-...
I think I was confusing trade winds with the gulf stream perhaps : "the waste products of nuclear explosions will move eastward out over the Atlantic Ocean"
In other news, that article was kind of crazy! They onshored nuclear detonations because of, essentially, PR reasons?
