Wind Shear
2020-08-30t21-55-33z

Wind Shear is a change in wind over a relatively short distance. Wind is a vector, so this can be a change in direction and/or magnitude (wind speed).

Wind shear can either classified into:

  • horizontal wind shear: Variation in wind speed and/or direction over a distance at a given altitude
  • vertical wind shear: Variation in wind speed and/or direction over a range of altitude.
