Wind/Current Vector Plotting Example Code

Youngling Posts: 2 Join Date: 6/12/17 Recent Posts

Hey Guys! Some folks mentioned that they wanted to try out plotting vector data (U/V wind or current, for example) along a track. I've mocked up some track data and show 4 different ways to plot the track with arrows overlaid. Basically, from simple to slightly more complex, I show a total base graphic method, a package-dependent base method (OceanView), a pure ggplot data (geom_segment), and my visual favorite in ggplot using geom_arrow from the metR package. Enjoy!!!
