Default Veering or Backing with height


Thanks all, that's much clearer. So rule of thumb is: winds Veer with height
in a warm air advection and Back in a cold air advection.

Just to quote yttiw's link from www.theweatherprediction "Winds often Veer
ahead of a cold front ... and Back behind a CF". So what would you expect to
happen, behind a warm front?
