meridional flow: In meteorology, a term meaning longitudinal or along a meridian such as northerly or southerly; opposed to zonal which is westerly or easterly. It is also an atmospheric circulation in a vertical plane oriented along a meridian. It consists, therefore, of the vertical and the meridional (north or south) components of motion only. 3, record 1, English, - meridional%20flow

[...] il existe [...] plusieurs types de vents d'autan, avec parfois des caractères très spéciaux pour l'autan de Sibérie, ce courant du nord-est [...] Pour les autres types, l'autan résulte d'abord d'un effet de barrière : en se heurtant aux Pyrénées, le flux (ou courant) méridien (orienté sud-nord) crée, sous le vent de la chaîne, au nord, une petite zone de basses pressions dynamiques d'une extrême importance. 3, record 1, French, - courant%20m%C3%A9ridien
