TrueWind

calculate True Wind from Apparent Wind

• AWA Apparent Wind Angle (relative to H)
• H Heading (relative to true north)
  • AWD Apparent Wind Direction (relative to true north)
  • AWD = MOD(H+AWA;360)

• AWS Apparent Wind Speed
• COG Course Over Ground
• SOG Speed Over Ground
• STW Speed Trough Water
  • TWS True Wind Speed (relative to ground)
  • TWSx = SOG * Sin (COG) - AWS * Sin (AWD)
  • TWSy = SOG * Cos (COG) - AWS * Cos (AWD)
  • TWS= SQRT (TWSx*TWSx + TWSy*TWSy)
  • TWD True Wind Direction (relative to true north)
  • TWD = ATAN ( TWSx / TWSy )
