[ncl-talk] Wind_vector_query

The resultant vector basically represents the equation
 sqrt [(U-wind)2  + (V-wind)2]


So if we use the function

Plot = gsn_csm_vector_map(wks,u,v,res)

Is that mean it is providing resultant wind plot or resultant wind
direction with wind speed.

If it is providing resultant wind plot, then using code (wks, v,u, res)
instead of (wks, u, v, res). It is plotting different wind plot.


If the code
Plot = gsn_csm_vector_map(wks,u,v,res) plotting resultant wind vector using
equation  sqrt [(U-wind)2  + (V-wind)2], Then it should plot the same resut
in both the cases (wks, u,v, res) and (wks, v,u, res). Right ?

please provide some information on that.
