wind_components#
- metpy.calc.wind_components(speed, wind_direction)[source]#
Calculate the U, V wind vector components from the speed and direction.
- Parameters:
speed (
pint.Quantity
) – Wind speed (magnitude)wind_direction (
pint.Quantity
) – Wind direction, specified as the direction from which the wind is blowing (0-2 pi radians or 0-360 degrees), with 360 degrees being North.
- Returns:
u, v (tuple of
pint.Quantity
) – The wind components in the X (East-West) and Y (North-South) directions, respectively.
