Apr 10, 2008 · A veering wind with height in the lower part of the atmosphere is a type of directional shear often considered important for tornado development. -- Also, could someone clearly explain …

Jan 5, 2006 · As a reminder, veering winds with height implies warm-air advection, while backing winds with height (or a backing wind profile) implies cold air advection. Typically, in the US, we want to see …

Oct 7, 2008 · Definition of veer-back (-veer) VBV refers to a backing of the winds in a layer above another layer with veering winds, and sometimes bounded above by another layer with veering winds …

Jun 11, 2005 · Please explain "backing winds" and their significance in tornadogenesis and chase planning stratagies. I thought veering winds were more important but read a lot about backing winds …

Jun 14, 2014 · veering and backing are terms used for the wind changing at a certain level, but can also be used to explain how winds change with height, as you've said. The terms were originally just for …

Oct 25, 2018 · Is WAA (CAA) always associated with veering (backing) winds or are there circumstances in which this relationship doesn't hold? I assume the tropics, being highly barotropic, …

Oct 8, 2005 · Generally speaking, for left-movers in a veering wind profile environment, SRH is usually quite small compared to right-movers. In addition (though indirectly related to the magnitude of SRH), …

Apr 24, 2020 · And, I suspect that the answer will also tell why Warm Air Advection causes veering winds with height. I’ve seen this mentioned In multiple basic meteorology resources, but I haven’t …

Veering (backing) winds and WAA (CAA) Is WAA (CAA) always associated with veering (backing) winds or are there circumstances in which this relationship doesn't hold? I assume the tropics, being highly …

Mar 11, 2009 · In what situations would a veering wind profile produce a straight-line hodograph and unidirectional shear? Would wind speeds have to actually be slower the higher up in the atmosphere …
