In meteorology and oceanography often requires display a magnitude and direction of flow, the direction defined by the angles, while the magnitude is defined by the size of the symbol, you can also symbolize a single layer that represents either the magnitude or direction this entry shows how to create a map of wind from speed and direction data obtained from meteorological stations, this procedure is performed in ArcGIS, but the Golden Surfer application also provides powerful tools for your design.

How to create a wind map in ArcGIS
Download images from Google Earth
The first step is to create a SHP data points in the table, through the Add XY Data tool, then interpolates (with IDW, Kriging, Spline) values of direction and wind speed to generate its respective raster. ArcToolbox > Spatial Analyst Tools > Interpolation
Synchronize ArcGIS with Google Earth
Within the study area to generate a mesh of random or regular points (also could only display data from existing stations), in order to obtain a greater distribution of vectors against the points of the seasons, with the Extract Multi Values to Points
Watershed delineation with ArcGIS
tool located at: ArcToolbox > Spatial Analyst Tools > Extraction Get the values of the raster direction and speed on the new layer of mesh points.
The next step is simply to display the magnitude and direction in the properties of the layer containing the mesh points in the

Symbology tab located at Quantities select Graduated Symbols in the Fields section, field Value select the field (magnitude) that contains the values of speed, at the bottom under Advanced> Rotation select the field that contains the values of the direction (flow in geographic coordinates). You can also customize the size of the symbol and the number of classes.
To customize the symbolism of the arrow containing the flow direction to open the property editor symbol from: Template > Edit Symbol > Character Marker Symbol > ESRI Cartography
Finally select a symbol arrow shape and accept all open dialog boxes before printing or posting the map of wind, it is recommended to use all his skills for efficient and attractive design.

FREDRICK JUMA 8:49 am March 5, 2015 This is Awesome. Can this be applied for real time simulations of wind data. Have you tired that to get a continous change for a longer period, and probably that can be published on a dynamic ArcGIS online. I will follow you on this subject. Juma (Nairobi, Kenya)

Beautyful! Remember how I did something like this in ArcView 3.2 using programming on Avenue… Many years ago…

This is awesome. I have been curious on the exact steps to do this since seeing windjs and now I just have to figure out how to animate it with leaflet…
