An curved arrow pointing right. Wind belts around the equator flip about every two years, but NASA has found that a flip occurred much earlier than expected in 2015. Why is up for debate.

Incredibly simple and effective as long as our machine or process is not time sensitive – perfect for a weather station temperature sensor, although wind direction is slightly more complicated.

There is a standup comic that I find very funny. Ron White in one of his routines about a man lashing himself to a tree to ...

In general, wind shear refers to any change in wind speed or direction along a straight line. In the case of hurricanes, wind shear is important primarily in the vertical direction--from the ...
