  "term": "Wind profile",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The variation of wind speed and direction with height above the Earth's surface. This vertical distribution is influenced by surface roughness, atmospheric stability, and larger-scale meteorological phenomena. It is typically measured using instruments like anemometers on towers or remote sensing techniques such as lidar and sodar.",
