Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004808
A two-dimensional slice through a body of fluid, illustrating the distribution of current velocities and directions along a particular transect. This visualization reveals vertical and horizontal variations in flow, such as shear or stratification. It is often used to analyze the structure of ocean currents or atmospheric fronts.
