meridional wind at 1000 vs meridional wind at surface

Both phrases are correct, but they have differing meanings. 'Meridional wind at 1000' refers to the meridional (north-south) component of the wind at a specific altitude of 1,000 units (e.g., 1,000 feet). On the other hand, 'meridional wind at surface' refers to the meridional component of the wind at the Earth's surface.

meridional wind at 1000

This phrase is correct and commonly used in meteorology to refer to the north-south component of the wind at a specific altitude.

This phrase is used in meteorology to describe the north-south component of the wind at a specific altitude, such as 1000 feet above the surface.

Examples:

  • The forecast model predicts a strong meridional wind at 1000 feet above sea level.
  • vapor pressure at 1000 hPa height, (b) temperature at 800. hPa height, (c) zonal wind at 925 hPa height and (d) meridional wind at 1000 hPa height. Table 1.
  • May 27, 2010 ... NCEP sea level pressure, zonal and meridional wind at 1000, 850, and 200 hPa level data are obtained from NCEP's Global Forecast System ...
  • Jul 1, 1995 ... 4 except for (a) zonally averaged divergence and (b) meridional wind at 1000 mb . Contour in (a) is 0.2 x 10“7 s'1 and in (b) is 0.02 m s“'.
  • ... geopotential heights at 500 hPa, zonal and meridional moisture transport at 700 hPa, specific humidity at 700 hPa, meridional wind at 1000 hPa and 700 hPa .

Alternatives:

  • zonal wind at 1000
  • vertical wind at 1000
  • horizontal wind at 1000
  • wind speed at 1000
  • wind direction at 1000

meridional wind at surface

This phrase is correct and commonly used in meteorology to refer to the north-south component of the wind at the Earth's surface.

This phrase is used in meteorology to describe the north-south component of the wind specifically at the Earth's surface.

Examples:

  • The meridional wind at surface is expected to shift towards the north by evening.
  • Meridional wind at surface. Zonal wind at surface. Specific humidity at 400 mb. Specific humidity at 850 mb. Meridional wind at 200 mb. Zonal wind at 200 mb.
  • Meridional wind at surface. Zonal wind at surface. Specific humidity at 400 mb. Specific humidity at 850 mb. Meridional wind at 200 mb. Zonal wind at 200 mb.
  • Meridional wind at surface. Zonal wind at surface. Specific humidity at 400 mb. Specific humidity at 850 mb. Meridional wind at 200 mb. Zonal wind at 200 mb.
  • Sep 22, 2011 ... Sea-level pressure. Meridional wind stress. Zonal wind stress. Meridional wind at surface. Zonal wind at surface. Specific humidity at 400 mb.

Alternatives:

  • zonal wind at surface
  • vertical wind at surface
  • horizontal wind at surface
  • wind speed at surface
  • wind direction at surface
