viento

Aire en movimiento relativo a la superficie de la tierra, causado por el movimiento promedio de un "gran número" de las moléculas de aire, por lo general con escalas mayores que los movimientos aleatorios de las moléculas individuales, a menudo se refiere sólo al movimiento horizontal porque los componentes de viento vertical, especialmente cerca de la superficie de la tierra son relativamente pequeñas.
