Wind Shears
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Wind shears, also known as
microbursts, are sudden and dramatic changes in the speed or
direction of the wind. While most travel in a horizontal
direction, there are wind shears which travel vertically; it is
these that are particularly dangerous to aircraft that are taking
off or landing, when correction is almost impossible due to their
low altitude. This is an interesting topic and includes 9
sources in the bibliography.
