Divergence of the Wind
•We can express the divergence equation in a simplified form, with two terms:
•Direction
•Speed
•The direction and speed terms, in-turn, can be expressed as directional/speed diffluence and confluence
–Confluence is not equal to Convergence
–Diffluence is not equal to Divergence
The divergence of the total wind, in a simplified form, depends on the objective evaluation of the direction and speed terms.  Subjective evaluation of the individual terms is not enough to accurately evaluate the proper areas of total wind divergence/convergence.  You could have a directionally confluent flow that is speed diffluent.  The net result could be convergent or divergent depending on which one of the two terms is the dominant one.
