Hello there,

is it possible to create a wave rose in BK with the data TOMAWAC has calculated?
If yes how to do it.

Thanks a lot

Hi Clemens,

Yes, you can create wave roses with BK.
First, you have to project the significant wave height and direction as cartesian components: U=Hs*cos(Dir) and V=Hs*sin(Dir). Be careful to the wave direction convention of Tomawac (nautical/cartesian, from/towards, and convert it in radians).
Then you can create a vector field (Tools-->Create Vector Field) from the new U and V variables and display them as wave roses.

I hope it helps.

Regards,
Laurent
