Vertical Windsheer

Anyone got a good explanation for the following, every time the question comes up I always get it the wrong way round, thanks.

Vertical windshear is vertical variation in the horizontal wind (and of course Vice versa).

Thanks.

The disturbed temperate climate or region is also called the area of travelling lows. Located 40-60 degrees N/S. Hope that helps
