Plotting wind field data on top of a Geographic map

Hi everyone,

I would like to plot my wind field data on geograpic map.

I can use the quiver function, however - it just plots it as a 2D without topography, borders, cities etc - just blank.

How can I do it with geobasemap, (for instance)?

My u, v, lat, long are all vectors and a type of double.

I will appiricate your help!

Hello Shai,

I understand that you are trying to plot wind field data on top of geographic map.

You can do this by using the “geoplot” function in MATLAB. “geoplot” function takes in latitude and longitude data and plots geographic map corresponding to those locations. “geobasemap” property can be set to required values like “streets”, etc based on requirement. Once this map is plotted, using “hold on” the wind data can be plotted as a line plot on top of it.

You can refer to the below documentation to learn more about “geoplot”:
