Why do tornadoes turn clockwise in the southern hesmiphere?

It has to do with wind shear profiles. In the southern hemisphere the wind direction changes in a clockwise fashion as you go up. For example, as ground level the wind might come out of the northeast and above it the wind might come out of the north. This causes the updraft of the supercell thunderstorm to take on a counterclockwise rotation, which it will pass on to any tornado it produces.


What way does wind direction affect temperature?

Wind direction affects temperature by bringing air of different temperatures to a specific location. For example, winds blowing from a warm region can increase temperatures, while winds blowing from a cold region can lower temperatures. Additionally, wind direction can impact the dispersal of heat around an area, affecting how warm or cool it feels.


What are Jupiter's seasons?

Jupiter's lack of a solid surface and its rapid rotation result in turbulent weather patterns that don't follow distinct seasons like those on Earth. However, its tilt does cause variations in sunlight received by different regions, affecting cloud patterns and atmospheric dynamics. This can lead to changes in the appearance of cloud belts and storms over time.


How does a jetliner contrail move sideways at the same rate as clouds are moving while the plane appears to be unaffected by the wind and stays at the front of the contrail?

The jetliner's engine/power keeps it on the desired direction of the flight. That engine/power is designed to be stronger than the winds (most of the time :) and thus the jetliner will look unaffected by them. The contrail on the other hand, once released, is free in the air without any inner force to give it a direction. Therefore the contrail will follow the wind's direction as do the clouds in its vicinity.


Why do tornadoes spin counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere?

In the northern hemisphere, wind shear usually works so that wind direction turns counterclockwise with increasing altitude, so for example, at ground level the wind may be out of the west while higher up it may be out of the south. If the wind shear is strong enough it can impart a counterclockwise rotation on the updraft of a thunderstorm. This rotation will then be passed on to any tornado the storm produces.

What does the word monsoonal mean?

it means any wind that changes the direction in the seasons


Any wind that changes direction with the seasons?

A wind that changes direction with the seasons is known as a seasonal wind or monsoon. Monsoons are characterized by a reversal in wind direction due to differential heating and cooling of land and sea surfaces. They typically bring heavy rainfall during one season and dry conditions during another, impacting various regions around the world, such as South Asia and parts of Africa.


What is the wind direction of a blizzard?

The wind direction of a blizzard can vary, but it is typically strong and can come from any direction. In blizzard conditions, the wind often changes direction frequently, causing blowing snow and reduced visibility.


Where must a wind vane be located to work properly?

A wind vane must be located in an open space such as a roof of a building but with very few obstructions. Open space makes sure that the wind direction and any changes in the wind direction are accurately recorded.


What does wind direction mean?

Wind direction is the direction from which the wind is blowing. It is typically expressed as the direction the wind is coming from, such as north, south, east, or west. Wind direction is one of the key parameters in weather forecasting and can impact various aspects of weather conditions.


If you are facing south where does the wind come from?

The direction you are facing has no bearing on the direction the wind is blowing. It can come from any where.


What is the example of a free vector?

An example of a free vector is wind force as it has both magnitude and direction. This vector can be represented by an arrow pointing in the direction of the wind with a length corresponding to the strength of the wind.


Do winds go the same direction all over the earth?

No. The wind can blow from any direction at any time.


Do winds go in the same direction all over earth?

No. The wind can blow from any direction at any time.


How can the wind pull a sail?

Any wind system on a continental scale that seasonally reverses its direction?

Any wind system on a continental scale that seasonally reverses its direction is a monsoon system. It affects large climatic regions.


Can a horse's hair stays the same during any season?
