MagnitudeAzimuth: Convert zonal-meridional wind speeds to magnitude/azimuth.
In rNOMADS: An R Interface to the NOAA Operational Model Archive and Distribution System
MagnitudeAzimuth R Documentation
Convert zonal-meridional wind speeds to magnitude/azimuth.
Description
Given zonal (East-West) and meridional (North-South) wind speeds, calculate magnitude of wind vector and azimuth from north, in degrees.
Usage
MagnitudeAzimuth(zonal.wind, meridional.wind)
Arguments
zonal.wind
A vector of zonal (East-West) winds, west negative.
meridional.wind
A vector of meridional (North-South) winds, south negative.
Value
winds$magnitude
Magnitude of wind vector.
winds$azimuth
Azimuth of wind vector in degrees from North

Examples
zonal.wind <- c(35.5, -2)
meridional.wind <- c(-5, 15)
winds <- MagnitudeAzimuth(zonal.wind, meridional.wind)
print(winds$magnitude)
print(winds$azimuth)
