Weather: wind vector Weather: wind vector Illustration of a wind vector, the two- or three-dimensional vector describing the instantaneous wind magnitude and direction at a point (often using Cartesian coordinates; i.e. X and Y wind vectors). The term can also apply to the resultant wind vector which is sometimes drawn as an arrow with length proportional to wind speed. meteorology, climate, weather, atmosphere, sky, wind, speed, direction, arrow 2008-08-14 image/svg+xml Weather: wind vector 2008-08-14 Integration and Application Network https://ian.umces.edu/media-library/weather-wind-vector/ https://ian.umces.edu/media-library/weather-wind-vector/ en-US meteorology, climate, weather, atmosphere, sky, wind, speed, direction, arrow Illustration of a wind vector, the two- or three-dimensional vector describing the instantaneous wind magnitude and direction at a point (often using Cartesian coordinates; i.e. X and Y wind vectors).
