Parameters:

  • wd (numpy.ndarray) – Wind direction array (any shape)

  • ws (float or numpy.ndarray) – The wind speed. Has to broadcast against wd.

  • axis (int) – Location where to insert the (x, y) dimension into the shape of wd

Returns:

wdvec – The wind direction vectors

Return type:

numpy.ndarray
