Thermal Wind Structure

Thermal Wind Structure is a meteorological construct that characterizes the vertical shear of horizontal wind velocity resulting from horizontal temperature gradients, distinguished by its diagnostic relationship between temperature advection and the geostrophic wind's variation with height in synoptic-scale and mesoscale atmospheric dynamics.
