Thermal wind is a concept in meteorology that refers to the change in wind speed and direction that is associated with differences in temperature between air masses. It is not a physical wind in the sense of a local wind like a sea breeze or mountain breeze but rather a theoretical concept used to describe the influence of thermal gradients on the wind pattern in the atmosphere.
