Re: Wind Shear
|
The yellow lines are measurements of the amount of shear in knots...for instance, just south of Panama City you see a circle of 5 kts...very low amounts of shear. Contrast that with 90kts of shear just north of Puerto Rico....that is a lot.
The pink-orange lines are streamlines...they show what way the wind is blowing...along the lines in the direction of the arrows.
Was that clear? Can I clarify further?
