Description:

Wind shear is the local variation of the wind vector. Significant shear at low levels may be produced by synoptic scale fronts, sea breezes, lowlevel jets and mountain waves. Convective features producing wind shear are the thunderstorm gust front

and the squall line. Theoretical and observational background information on the occurrence of low-level wind shear is provided. Aircraft takeoff, approach and landing incidents related to wind shear are cited. Graphs and tables which can aid in the

forecasting of low-level wind shear under various conditions are provided.

The occurrence of wind shear with synoptic scale systems and with convective systems is described. This paper is intended to be a guide to the forecaster in predicting low-level wind shear and assessing its significance.
