crosswind
A wind that has a component directed perpendicularly to the course (or heading) of an exposed, moving object; more popularly, a wind that predominantly acts in this manner. In the broadest sense, any wind except a direct headwind or direct tailwind is a crosswind. The drift produced by crosswind is critical to air navigation, being especially dangerous during landing and takeoff.
