To add to this discussion...

Note that, meteorology and oceanography follow different conventions for wind directions.

Meteorology convention

0 deg = Northerly & 180 deg = Southerly

Oceanogrphy

0 deg = Northward & 180 deg = Southward.

use the matlab "quiver" function (see the function properties to hide arrows).

Note that matlab use mathematic conventions: a direction of 0 (north) corresponds to an angle of +90 in matlab. So your direction in matlab equals 90 - your geographic direction.

Note also that matlab expects angles in radian (use deg2rad function for conversion from degree to radian).

You can use the built in quiver function as mentioned above: quiver(lon,lat,u,v)

or the stickvect funtion which plots "stick vectors" for multicomponent velocity time series. You can find it in data analysis toolbox for Matlab by J. M. Lilly: http://www.jmlilly.net/doc/stickvect.html

Hope it helps,

Naomi
