Croatian term or phrase: južni smjer
"Lokacija ima umjereno kontinentalnu klimu uz vrlo jak vjetar južnog smjera (bura i jugo)."
Je li to znači da vjetar puše od juga ili prema jugu?
John Farebrother

English translation:sirocco
Explanation:
Mislim da nije loše naše hrvatsko "jugo" zvati "sirocco".

In southern Dalmatia, where the sirocco winds (known here as the jugo) bring a moderating influence from Africa, summers are sunny, warm, and dry, and winters are rainy. In the north the winters are drier and colder as a result of the cold northeast wind known as the bora (bura).

Pogledajte molim na linku http://hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugo skicu vjetrova na Jadranu. Vidljivo je da je vjetar pod nazivom "oštro" vjetar koji puše s juga. I potom usporedite s ovim citatom:
"Oštro je vjetar južnog smjera (J), a samo ga malobrojni razlikuju
od juga. No to je vrlo opasan vjetar i za upućene signal za neposrednu opasnost."

Nesumnjivo je da južni vjetar puše iz smjera juga i njegov je pravi naziv "oštro". "Jugo" je zapravo jugoistočni vjetar, a ostali domaći nazivi su "široko" ili "šilok". "Šilok" sam i osobno čula na Kornatima.

U Vašem izvorniku zapravo najviše zbunjuje što se spominje samo vjetar južnog smjera, a u nastavku se u zagradi navode i bura i jugo koji su drukčijih smjerova...

Hvala na savjetima. Izgleda da se pisac nije jasno izrazio, pa sam bukvalno ponovio njegove nejasne riječi, koristeći pritom 'cold north-easterly gales and southerly sirocco'

southward


Explanation:

( the ) southward wind

southward bi indiciralo južni smjer u smislu kretanja što "južni smjer" označava ( kretanje i tendencija, ne statika)

Asker: Znači jugo puše od juga, a bura puše od sjevero-istoka; kako onda 'vjetar južnog smjera'?

Smjer i jačina
Vjetar je obilježen smjerom i jačinom. To znači da svaki vjetar ima svoj smjer i brzinu puhanja. Za smjer je bitno odakle vjetar puše, a ne prema gdje puše. Najpoznatiji vjetrovi na Jadranu su jugo, bura, maestral i lebić. Postoje i drugi poput levanta, tramontane (tremuntana), oštrijade, pulenta itd.

Prema ovome, za smjer bi bilo bitno odakle vjetar puše, dakle vjetar južnog smjera bio bi vjetar koji puše s juga... Hvala vam na ovom pitanju:)), sad sam si i ja razjasnila... jedino me buni ta bura, imala sam dojam da ona ne puše baš s juga...

This question comes from David, who's in 4th grade at the Mullen Hall School in Falmouth, Massachusetts.

Question: If the wind was heading north through the eastern hemisphere over the north pole into the western hemiphere, once it passed the north pole would it be heading southwest? P.S. If you are standing on the north pole, how do you describe the direction of the wind?
Answer: Hi David, good question! Winds are always named by the direction that they originate from. WordAs the wind crosses the pole, it automatically becomes a "northerly" since it is coming from the north. By that convention, if you're standing directly at the north pole, any wind you feel would be a "southerly" since the only direction you can go from the pole is south!

Answer: Hi David, good question! Winds are always named by the direction that they originate from. So, you would call that northbound wind a "southerly." As the wind crosses the pole, it automatically becomes a "northerly" since it is coming from the north. By that convention, if you're standing directly at the north pole, any wind you feel would be a "southerly" since the only direction you can go from the pole is south!

agree  Lingua 5B: pa mislim da ste dobro rekli bura sa sjevera, jugo sa juga, a oba su na " južnoj liniji" samo suprotni pravci? da možda je " južni smjer" nešto što meteorolozi koriste kao specifično.
9 mins
  -> najzgodnije mi je kad naiđe nešto kao ono, jednostavno, milijun puta čula, ehehh... ali bome sad više ne znam, ahahaha
agree  Andreja Ciković: ako je vjetar južnog smjera onaj koji potječe s juga, znači li to da je on zapravo "northbound"? jer bez obzira otkuda dolazi uvijek puše prema sjeveru?
1 hr
  -> W2S, nemaaaam pooojma više, ahahaha; mislim da bih mogla probdjeti noć nad pitanjem ovog destogodišnjaka koje sam upravo stavila u referencu:)))
