Wind Direction & Speed

This is conversion of  wind measurements in the direction and the speed or with values for the vectors.
u is the Zonal velocity, that is the component of the horizontal wind towards east. while v is the Meridional velocity, that is the component of the horizontal wind toward north.

Wind direction increases clockwise such that a northerly wind is 0°, an easterly wind is 90°, a southerly wind is 180°, and a westerly wind is 270°.

Wind Speed  V_H  = √(u² + v²)
