When i read the example of cross_section (https://unidata.github.io/MetPy/latest/examples/cross_section.html#sphx-glr-examples-cross-section-py), i found that this example used the function mpcalc.cross_section_components to obtain components of the vector field in the tangential and normal directions.
Does the normal direction component mean vertical wind? How can we get vertical wind from horizontal wind?
