Everything about Zonal And Meridional totally explained
The terms
zonal and
meridional are used to describe directions on a
globe.
Zonal means "along a
latitude circle" or "in the
west-
east direction"; while
meridional means "along a
meridian" or "in the
north-
south direction".
These terms are often used in the
atmospheric and
earth sciences to describe global phenomena, such as "meridional wind flow", or "zonal temperature". (Strictly speaking,
zonal means more than simply a direction as it also implies a degree of localization in the meridional direction, so that that the phenomenon in question is localized to a
zone of the planet.)
For
vector fields (such as
wind speed), the zonal component (or
x-
coordinate) is denoted as
u, while the meridional component (or
y-coordinate) is denoted as
v.
