Difference between Avionics and Wind shear

Avionics vs. Wind shear

Avionics are the electronic systems used on aircraft, artificial satellites, and spacecraft. Wind shear (or windshear), sometimes referred to as wind gradient, is a difference in wind speed and/or direction over a relatively short distance in the atmosphere.

Similarities between Avionics and Wind shear

Avionics and Wind shear have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Clear-air turbulence, Federal Aviation Administration, NEXRAD, Weather radar.

Clear-air turbulence

Clear-air turbulence (CAT) is the turbulent movement of air masses in the absence of any visual clues, such as clouds, and is caused when bodies of air moving at widely different speeds meet.

Federal Aviation Administration

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States is a national authority with powers to regulate all aspects of civil aviation.

NEXRAD

NEXRAD or Nexrad (Next-Generation Radar) is a network of 159 high-resolution S-band Doppler weather radars operated by the National Weather Service (NWS), an agency of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) within the United States Department of Commerce, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) within the Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Air Force within the Department of Defense.

Weather radar

Weather radar, also called weather surveillance radar (WSR) and Doppler weather radar, is a type of radar used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion, and estimate its type (rain, snow, hail etc.). Modern weather radars are mostly pulse-Doppler radars, capable of detecting the motion of rain droplets in addition to the intensity of the precipitation.

Avionics and Wind shear Comparison

Avionics has 112 relations, while Wind shear has 108. As they have in common 4, the Jaccard index is 1.82% = 4 / (112 + 108).
