Abstract: In a first theoretical study, the reasons for anti-clockwise rotation (clockwise rotation in the Southern Hemisphere) of the wind hodograph in the boundary layer are investigated. As observations of wind hodographs show ...

Abstract: Following the theory of Kusuda and Alpert (Part I), expressions for the eccentricity and tilt angle of the surface-wind hodograph at different latitudes are derived as functions of the amplitude and phase shift of the ...
