A variation in wind speed and/or direction in a layer of the atmosphere or between layers. The variation may be in the horizontal or vertical dimensions and may result in significant turbulence depend [..]

The rate at which wind velocity changes from point to point in a given direction (as, vertically). The shear can be speed shear (where speed changes between the two points, but not direction), directi [..]

A difference in wind speed or direction between two wind currents in the atmosphere.

difference in wind speed and direction over a set distance in the atmosphere.

A sudden drastic change in wind speed, wind direction or both that may occur in the vertical or horizontal plane, resulting in a tearing or shearing affect. Wind shear is a very dangerous environment in which to fly aircraft.

A term and calculation used to describe how wind speed increases with height above the surface of the earth. The degree of wind shear is a factor of the complexity of the terrain as well as the actual heights measured. Wind shear increases as friction between the wind and the ground becomes greater. Wind shear is not a measure of the wind speed at [..]

Any sudden change in wind speed or direction.

The difference in wind speed and direction over a relatively short distance in the atmosphere. Wind shear can be broken down into vertical and horizontal components, with horizontal wind shear seen across storm fronts and near the coast, and vertical shear seen typically near the surface (though also at higher levels in the atmosphere near upper-le [..]

The rate of wind speed or direction change with distance. Vertical wind shear is the rate of change of the wind with respect to altitude. Horizontal wind shear is the rate of change on a horizontal pl [..]

A sudden shift in wind direction.

the rate of change of wind speed or wind direction over a short period of time and a short distance. Can occur vertically or horizontally.

Weather phenomenon entailing a strong downdraft of air that can result in the loss of lift for an aircraft passing through it.

The rate of change of wind speed and/or direction over a given distance. Also, see shear.

A difference in wind speed and direction over a relatively short distance in the atmosphere. Horizontal wind shear seen across fronts and near the coast, and vertical shear is, typically, near the surface.

the local variation of the wind speed and/or direction in a given direction. Shear usually refers to vertical wind shear (i.e., the change of wind with height) but the term is also used in Doppler rad [..]

A change in wind speed and/or wind direction in a short distance resulting in a tearing or shearing effect. It can exist in a horizontal or vertical direction and occasionally in both.

The rate of change of wind velocity (direction and/or speed) per unit distance; conventionally expressed as vertical or horizontal wind shear.

The rate at which wind velocity changes from point to point in a given direction (as, vertically). The shear can be speed shear (where speed changes between the two points, but not direction), direction shear (where direction changes between the two points, but not speed) or a combination of the two.

A change of variation in wind speed and or direction in the horizontal or vertical. This term usually refers to vertical wind shear, or the change in wind with height, but can also represent horizontal wind shear, or the chance in wind with distance.

See shear.

Wind shear, sometimes referred to as windshear or wind gradient, is a difference in wind speed and direction over a relatively short distance in the atmosphere. Wind shear has a significant effect dur [..]

The change in wind speed or direction with time or distance.

The rate of wind speed or direction change with distance. Vertical wind shear is the rate of change of the wind with respect to altitude. Horizontal wind shear is the rate of change on a horizontal plane.

The change of wind speed or direction with distance or height.

See shear.

The rate of wind speed or direction change with distance. Vertical wind shear is the rate of change of the wind with respect to altitude. Horizontal wind shear is the rate of change on a horizontal pl [..]

The rate of wind speed

The change in wind speed or direction with height or distance.

Variation in wind speed (speed shear) and/or direction (directional shear) over a short distance. Shear usually refers to vertical wind shear, i.e., the change in wind with height,

The rate at which wind velocity changes from point to point in a given direction (as, vertically). The shear can be speed shear (where speed changes between the two points, but not direction), directi [..]

The rate of wind speed or direction change with distance. Vertical wind shear is the rate of change of the wind with respect to altitude. Horizontal wind shear is the rate of change on a horizontal plane.

(meteorology,weather) A change of wind speed, direction, and magnitude.
