PLOTWINDIRVEL can be used to plot wind direction versus wind velocity (read strength) on a compass plot.

I have included two scripts to show you how to use the function. If you run the first script make sure the datafile is co-resident with the two MATLAB-files. Here is a snippet from the second script:

[a,b] = plotWinDirVel(wdir,knots, ...
{'Wind Direction and Strength ...(zero degrees is true North)'});

You may need to vertically stretch the plots a little to reveal the heading. There is probably a better way to position the heading so feel free to offer suggestions.
