Vertical wind shear measurements in the lower stratosphere
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 1975AbstractDuring two flight series of superpressure constant‐level balloons conducted in the lower stratosphere by the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique, the vertical wind shear vector over 100 metres has been measured. It has been found from a record of almost two months that the r.m.s. wind shear is about 1·5 × 10−2s−1.

Effect of vertical wind shear on the growth of convective clouds
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 1967AbstractThe relationship between vertical wind shear and the vertical extent of convective clouds is examined. In order to take into consideration the movement of the cloud, a ‘Relative Top Shear’ (RTS) is defined. Radar data and upper winds at some Indian stations in different seasons have been studied and a comparison made between RTS at different ...

Effects of Vertical Wind Shear on the Predictability of Tropical Cyclones
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2013Abstract Through cloud-resolving simulations, this study examines the effect of vertical wind shear and system-scale flow asymmetry on the predictability of tropical cyclone (TC) intensity during different stages of the TC life cycle.

The effect of wind shear and vertical diffusion on horizontal dispersion
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 1965AbstractFeatures of analytical solutions of atmospheric diffusion equations show that the effect of wind shear and vertical diffusion on horizontal dispersion is important at great distances. Methods of using an analogue or a digital computer to solve the equations for all but very short distances are described.

Effects of Vertical Wind Shear on Tropical Cyclone Precipitation
Monthly Weather Review, 2010Abstract The response of the precipitation field for tropical cyclones in relation to the surrounding environmental vertical wind shear has been investigated using ∼20 000 snapshots of passive-microwave satellite rain rates. Composites of mean rain rates, 95th percentile rain rates, and rain coverage were constructed to compare how the ...

Modeling of flicker in wind turbine on a green building due to vertical wind shear
2014 IEEE 8th International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference (PEOCO2014), 2014Paper confers a newfangled empirical model to figure, flicker, instigated in the horizontal axis, upwind turbine, due to vertical wind shear, in continuous operation. Postulations, boundary curbs and limitations of the model are also depicted. In the proposed model, vertical wind shear, number of blades, blade length and tower height are echoed.

The effects of vertical wind shear on the evolution of convective clouds
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 1975AbstractThe effects of ambient wind shear Uo on the evolution of an isolated three‐dimensional convective cloud are studied. Sixteen cases are considered which differ from one another both in the value of U′0 in the initial value of the energy of atmospheric instability per unit height of the unstable layer, E0.

On the vertical wind shear of Saturn's Equatorial Jet at cloud level
Icarus, 2006Abstract In this work we analyze and compare the vertical cloud structure of Saturn's Equatorial Zone in two different epochs: the first one close to the Voyagers flybys (1979–1981) and the second one in 2004, when the Cassini spacecraft entered its orbit around the planet.

Vertical Wind Shear Associated with Left-Moving Supercells
Weather and Forecasting, 2002Vertical wind shear parameters are presented for 60 left-moving supercells across the United States, 53 of which produced severe hail ($1.9 cm). Hodographs corresponding to environments of left-moving supercells have a tendency to be more linear than those of their right-moving supercell counterparts.
