wind veer
el cambio en la dirección del viento con la altura


Explanation:
This is wind direction shear. In principle, in any direction normal to the wind direction vector, but in practice, usually with the height.

These are normally measured in degrees of direction change per meter of height (deg/m). So what is measured is a rate of change!
