Python Tutorial: How to Plot Wind Data from WRF Output Files

Learn how to visualize 10-meter wind data from WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) model output files using Python. In this tutorial, I walk you through extracting wind data (U10 and V10 components) and generating wind barbs using Matplotlib and Cartopy. We’ll also explore how to process NetCDF files and add geographical features like borders, rivers, and lakes to your plots. By the end of this video, you'll know how to automate the creation of wind maps for your research or projects.
