Vertical wind shear is the second critical factor in the determination of thunderstorm type and potential storm severity. Vertical shear, or the change of winds with height, interacts dynamically with thunderstorms to either enhance or diminish vertical draft strengths.

Wind shear can make plane rides bumpy ... The major cause of the air turbulence that sometimes makes planes bounce up and down in flight is wind shear. (Related: Aircraft turbulence) ... Meteorologists use the term "wind shear" in a much wider way than the kind that can cause turbulence, as shown in the graphic here.

Britannica online encyclopedia article on wind shear (meteorology), rapid change in wind velocity or direction. A very narrow zone of abrupt velocity change is known as a shear line. Wind shear is observed both near the ground and in jet streams, where it may be associated with clear-air turbulence.

What is wind shear you may ask? It is simply the change in wind direction and/or speed with height. We can differentiate between directional and speed shear, but generally speaking both occur simultaneously and hence the term wind shear.
