Wind shear, sometimes referred to as windshear or wind gradient, is a difference in wind speed and/or direction over a relatively short distance in the atmosphere. Atmospheric wind shear is normally described as either vertical or horizontal wind shear. Vertical wind shear is a change in wind speed or direction at different altitudes. Horizontal wind shear is a change in wind speed between fixed points on the ground at any given altitude.
Wind shear is a microscale meteorological phenomenon occurring over a very small distance, but it can be associated with mesoscale or synoptic scale weather features such as squall lines and cold fronts. It is commonly observed near microbursts and downbursts caused by thunderstorms, fronts, areas of locally higher low level winds referred to as low level jets, near mountains, radiation inversions that occur due to clear skies and calm winds, buildings, wind turbines, and sailboats. Wind shear has a significant effect during take-off and landing of aircraft due to its effects on control of the aircraft, and it has been a sole or contributing cause of many aircraft accidents.
Play along,
Sing your song the way you want it to be...
..with me.
Sing along,
Play your song the way you want it to be...
..with me.
(CHORUS)
You never know until you see...you never know.
Feel free,
Feel the moss on an ancient oaken tree....
..with me.
Feel free,
Feel free to allow your mind to speak...
..with me.
(CHORUS)
Come along,
Follow your heart to a secret special place...
..with me.
Be alone,
Seeking your shadow in a snowy meadow in peace......with me.
(CHORUS)
Blow away,
Breathing the life of years on a summer breeze......with me.
Blow away,
Sweeping across the endless rolling seas...
..with me.
You never know until you see,
You never know until you see.
It doesn't have to be....
