On the Classification of Vertical Wind Shear as Directional Shear versus Speed Shear
04/01/2006: 3,538 words, approx. 12 pages ABSTRACT Vertical wind shear is commonly classified as "directional" or "speed" shear. In this note, these classifications are reviewed and their relevance discussed with respect to the dynamics of convective storms. In the absence of surface drag, storm morphology and evolution only depend...
