Define atmospheric wind shear, and explain how the existence of wind shear creates eddies and air pockets that cause atmospheric
turbulence and clarify the differences between horizontal and vertical wind shear, and the eddies generated by each. Describe one scenario of specific atmospheric conditions that would result in the generation of wind shear and turbulence, and any potential visual signs that may exist to serve as a warning to pilots of the potential for encountering turbulence for this scenario.
Give your take on the relevance and importance of the above concept from your own perspective.
Wind Shear is the difference in direction and speed of the wind in the atmosphere within a specific distance.
Explanation:
Eddies are generated when winds goes over a mountain creating vertical shear on the side that is sheltered from it, that creates air pockets causing atmospheric turbulence know as "rotors".
The change of direction and wind speed with altitude variation is called Vertical wind shear.
The change in wind speed together with a change in lateral position at a certain altitude is called Horizontal wind shear.
One scenario is a mountain with down-bursts and micro-bursts creating ice crystal plumes clouds that could warn pilots of wind shear, allowing then to avoid accidents.
different parts of the world have different patterns of weather because the earth is rotating in axis and then some parts of the world get more radiation energy from the sun.
The answer that best fits the blank is 5 BILLION. It is estimated for another 5 billion years that the Sun would still have enough fuel for hydrogen fusion. This fusion that occurs in the sun is what we are experiencing now which is its radiance and this is a very strong energy that is able to reach us. Hope this helps.
