get_wind_components
(u, v)[source]¶ Calculate the U, V wind vector components from the speed and direction.
Parameters: - speed (array_like) – The wind speed (magnitude)
- wdir (array_like) – The wind direction, specified as the direction from which the wind is blowing, with 360 degrees being North.
Returns: u, v (tuple of array_like) – The wind components in the X (East-West) and Y (North-South) directions, respectively.
