Dear WRF Users. <br>This is Query Reg Surface wind speed and direction from WRF. <br>I am getting the U10 and V10 (the ROTATED wind components) as one of the diagnostics from WRF. I have used <b>mercator projection</b> for the domain. <br>Also,
ws10 and wd10, are the Wind Speed (m s-1) and Direction (Degrees) at 10
M is also available as one of the outputs. What is the Difference
between the two. <br><br>Pls clarify how to compute the actual wind speed and direction at a particular point. <br><br>I have plotted all the 3 variables ie, the U10 and V10, and wd10 (attatched wind.gif). <br>ga-> d skip(U10,2,2);V10<br>ga-> c<br>ga-> set cint 20<br>cint = 20 <br>ga-> d wd10<br>Contouring: 20 to 340 interval 20 <br>ga-> d skip(U10,2,2);V10<br>ga-> printim wind.gif<br><br>I am unable to find any significant difference between the U10;V10 and the ws10 and wd10. <br>Pls clarify this doubt. <br>geeta<br><br><br><br> </body>
