The form of the two-point wind correlation tensor on an isobaric surface is derived from the two-point height correlation function. The structural form expected is found to agree well with the form observed. The relation of the two-point wind correlation tensor to the vector correlation coefficient and to the longitudinal and transverse wind correlations is discussed. The longitudinal and transverse wind correlations are shown to have as simple a structure as the vector wind correlation and in addition to be applicable to certain types of problems to which the vector wind correlation does not strictly apply.
