Default Counting differences in numbers across columns

I think this is probably pretty easy.

I have a table here is the first row (starting at a1), with numbers in
individual columns

A B c d e
1624 1433 1546 1244 1287
The columns represent years with A being the current year. I want to count
how many years improved upon the previous year. The answer is two, C is
greater than D, and A is greater than B. Of course units went down from E to
D and again from C to B. How do I write a formula that can analyze the four
relationships across the five years and count how many times units went down
from one year to the immediately following year?
