We often see tropical disturbances under 10 knots of wind shear that do not develop. Why? Oftentimes, this is because cold, dry air aloft associated with an upper level trough of low pressure is ...

There should be a break in storms for a few hours late afternoon into early evening, but high-resolution modeling suggests a ...

For example, hurricanes thrive in low wind shear environments because it allows warm, moist air to rise uninterrupted, feeding the storm's development. Conversely, thunderstorms benefit from the ...

Lynn, an electronics technologist, concluded that low-level wind shear — a sudden change in wind direction or speed at low altitude — was at least partially to blame, and he questioned why Can ...

Wind shear is the measurement of the difference in wind direction and speed over a short distance in the atmosphere. Wind ...
