composante U du vent

CONT: Composante U (méridienne) du vent à 10 mètres (positive à l'est). Unité : m/s[exposant -1].

CONT: The geostrophic wind approximations are broken into its two horizontal components. The ""U"" component represents the east-west component of the wind while the ""V"" component represents the north-south component. The two formulas for the U and V component of wind are as follows ... The minus sign in front of the U component answer indicates an easterly component to the wind, or in other words, a wind that blows from east to west. A positive U component would mean that the wind is blowing from west to east.
