"good artists copy; great artists steal" …

Wind Barbs

Magnitude and direction

wind speed, wind direction, direction of observation

What's with ^¹?

1 – wind being looked at ^²

• current GPS coordinate
• heading (direction of observation)
• azimuth (angle of observation)
• When:
• limit observation height to an imaginary ceiling
• Then:
• determine the GPS coordinate of observation

2 – preposition
