Re: shear link

UW CIMSS offers an excellent source of regularly updating shear analysis. I highly recommend them for checking on wind shear. LINK I suggest playing around with the site, and also closely looking over everything it has to offer. It should start to make sense after a bit.

You may be hearing shear referred to in terms of "vertical" owing to changes of wind speed and/or direction with height.
