Definition: HODOGRAPH |
HODOGRAPHNoun1. A curve described by the moving extremity of a line the other end of which is fixed, this line being constantly parallel to the direction of motion of, and having its length constantly proportional to the velocity of, a point moving in any path; -used in investigations respecting central forces. |

Geography | Lines joining the end points of the vectors that represent in polar co-ordinates the upper wind velocities at successive levels. Source: European Union. (references) |
| Plot of wave-train travel time against corresponding distance along the Earth's surface from the source to the point of observation. Source: European Union. (references) | |
Weather | A plot representing the vertical distribution of horizontal winds, using polar coordinates. A hodograph is obtained by plotting the end points of the wind vectors at various altitudes, and connecting these points in order of increasing height. Interpretation of a hodograph can help in forecasting the subsequent evolution of thunderstorms (e.g., squall line vs. supercells, splitting vs. non-splitting storms, tornadic vs. nontornadic storms, etc.).
