Résumé	The Skew-T Log-P diagram is a thermodynamic chart used extensively in meteorology to visualize atmospheric profiles of temperature, dew point, and pressure. Developed in its modern form by Reitan in the 1960s, it allows forecasters and researchers to quickly assess atmospheric stability, convective potential, wind shear, and other properties critical for weather diagnosis and prediction.	The thermal wind relationship is a fundamental meteorological principle that links vertical wind shear to horizontal temperature gradients. It states that wind speed increases with height in the direction of warming—a direct consequence of hydrostatic and geostrophic balance combined with the ideal gas law.
