The sense of Earth's rotation as seen from this vantage point is counter clockwise around the north pole as seen from above. Counter clockwise is simple a description of the way and direction it is spinning. If one were to look at the second hand on a clock face, it moves around the clock from left to right in what is called a clockwise motion, counter clockwise is simple the reverse of that.
