Hi All,
Is there a simple way to plot a directional arrow to represent a degree?
I have a netcdf file containing wind direction as degrees and I would like
to make a plot with all little arrows representing the wind direction.
Below is the code I am using currently to plot wind direction but am not
sure where/how to add directional arrows.
Thanks
from netCDF4 import Dataset
import numpy as N
import pylab as plt
from numpy import ma as MA
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
import os
ncfile=Dataset('E:/WINDDIR/IDZ00026_VIC_ADFD_Wind_Dir_SFC.nc', 'r+',
'NETCDF4')
WDIR=ncfile.variables['Wind_Dir_SFC'][-50]
LAT=ncfile.variables['latitude'][:]
LON=ncfile.variables['longitude'][:]
TIME=ncfile.variables['time'][-50]
fillvalue=ncfile.variables['Wind_Dir_SFC']._FillValue
WDIR=MA.masked_values(WDIR, fillvalue)
ncfile.close()
map = Basemap(projection='merc',llcrnrlat=-40,urcrnrlat=-33,
llcrnrlon=139.0,urcrnrlon=151.0,lat_ts=0,resolution='i')
x,y=map(*N.meshgrid(LON,LAT))
map.drawstates()
map.drawcoastlines()
plt.title('Wind Direction')
CS = map.contourf(x,y,WDIR,15, cmap=plt.cm.jet)
l,b,w,h =0.1,0.1,0.8,0.8
cax = plt.axes([l+w+0.025, b, 0.025, h])
plt.colorbar(CS,cax=cax,drawedges=True)
plt.savefig((os.path.join('E:/WINDDIR/', 'WDIRSFC.png')))
plt.show()
