Wind Shear Defined
The following is in context to Meteorology, because it's common for a single word to have multiple meanings you will find additional research links near the bottom of the page.
"The rate at which wind velocity changes from point to point in a given direction (as, vertically). The shear can be speed shear (where speed changes between the two points, but not direction), direction shear (where direction changes between the two points, but not speed) or a combination of the two."
