Current speed and direction from the eastward (U) and northward (V) components of the sea water velocity.

Remarks

Direction follows the oceanographic convention, as S-111 does: the direction the water flows to, in degrees clockwise from true north, in [0, 360). It's atan2(u, v), so a current with u > 0 (flowing east) sets to 90°. A slack current (u = v = 0) has direction 0°. Wind and wave directions are the other way round (WindComponents).

Methods

GetSpeed(Speed, Speed)

The current speed, √(u² + v²).

public static Speed GetSpeed(Speed u, Speed v)

Parameters

u Speed

The eastward component.

v Speed

The northward component.

Returns

Speed

GetToDirection(Speed, Speed)

The direction the current flows to, in degrees true, in [0, 360).

public static Angle GetToDirection(Speed u, Speed v)

Parameters

u Speed

The eastward component.

v Speed

The northward component.

Returns

Angle
