Divergent and Rotational Wind Components

Note that no attributes or coordinate variables are returned by these functions.

  • uv2dvG calculates the divergence
  • dv2uvg calculates the divergent wind components
  • uv2vrG computes the vorticity
  • vr2uvg computes the rotational wind components
wind_1.ncl: First calculates divergence, then the divergent wind components. Creates a simple vector plot.
wind_2.ncl: First calculates vorticity and then the rotational wind components. Creates a simple vector plot.
wind_3.ncl: Divergent wind vectors plotted over velocity potential.
wind_4.ncl: A black and white version of example 4, suitable for publication.
