Re: Backing vs veering

I don't like the definitions as they still cause confusion between NH and SH. Why is there a need for terms veering and backing when clockwise and anticlockwise are accurate descriptions of what is going on.

Something like "winds veered clockwise with height" or "winds veered anticlockwise with height" leave no room for misinterpretation when describing the shear profile.
