Wind direction reference system


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi

I have a very simple question: what reference system does WAsP use for wind direction? I want to use wind data that comes in a u & v component format but I'm not sure of how to meassure the direction of the wind. I always assumed it was 0º for wind coming from the west and 90º for wind coming from the south (like your usual mathematical angles). But then I thought it may use the 'meteorological' angles; 0º for north winds and 90º for east winds (?). Can someone confirm which one is it?

Thank you!!
