If the Winds from the north are deflected to the west and the winds from the south are deflected to the east from an onlookers point of view from the space then the rotation should be counter clock wise and not clock wise. What am not getting?

You have a point, though I think it is the wind directions that are wrong, not the rotation. I'll check up on that. Thanks for the heads up!
