mwind( macro/python ) pwind ( fortran )

Wind plotting facilities allow users to plot wind and wind related parameters as follows:

Wind fields may be presented to Magics in matrix form, as U/V velocity components or as speed/direction components. Wind fields may also be passed in GRIB code data as U/V or speed/direction. These wind fields may be plotted in one of two ways:

  • Wind arrows; represented by a vector whose length is proportional to the speed of the wind.

  • WMO standard wind flags; represented by barbs and solid pennants.

    An  advanced mode has been added, if activated the colour of the flag/arrow is  selected according to the intensity of the plotted vector
