Hi Jayanti,<br>
<br>
simple answer is yes. If your wind speed variable is <tt>speed</tt>
and the wind direction variable is <tt>direction</tt>:<br>
<br>
<font color="#3333ff"><tt> rad = 4.0*atan(1.0)/180.
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> u = -speed*sin(rad*direction)
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>
v = -speed*cos(rad*direction)
</tt></font><br>
<br>
Instead of the computation of <tt>rad</tt> above you can also use
the function <tt>get_d2r</tt>: <font color="#3333ff"><tt>rad =
get_d2r("float")</tt></font><br>
<br>
Bye,<br>

<div>I have wind direction and wind speed in a file (hdf
format and swath data). Will it be possible to calculate U
and V component using ncl?</div>
