Chris Scott I am rather certain that MAX(A;B) is the syntax for exactly the same meaning you explain: the greater of A and B.

A proper SIM should be able to replicate real-life wind profile with changing velocities and directions, that was his point. Noted in agreement with you, the surface wind alone / uniform in a column of air does no cut it. Though I believed the SIMs we use have the option to modify winds in different layers independently.
