Abstract
Proposes a simple theory to explain how a veering environmental wind shear vector can cause an initially symmetric updraft to grow perferentially to the right of the shear vector and acquire cyclonic rotation. The explanation offered is based on linear theory which predicts that interaction of the mean shear with the updraft produces favorable vertical pressure gradients along its right flank.-from Authors
