Re: [ferret_users] strange arrows for wind direction



Carlos,
Have a look at how your plot changes with the  vector/ASPECT qualifier.  What are the units of height?  Meters? At 43N a degree of latitude is about 5500 m, so the scale on your two plotting axes isn't too terribly different, but that may account for the funny looking arrow heads.

Hi all,

why do I obtain this kind of arrow when plotting wind direction from "u" and "v" components?
why I can't see a "normal" arrow?

This is what I use:
 
set region /l=750/j=30:70/i=60/
vector /vlim=400:7000 u,v,xlat,geopotential_f;

Thanks in advance

Regards

Carlos
