Wind Calculator 0.0.60

Based on ship's data (heading and speed over ground), this nautical wind calculator provides calculations for true and apparent wind (speed and direction). Anemometers on board ships commonly measure apparent wind speed. This application enables users to efficiently switch between apparent and true wind measurements.

• The tool also allows for converting true wind to apparent wind. It includes a dedicated help page that offers clear explanations of all symbols utilized.
• A key feature of this calculator is its graphical representation or plot, which effectively illustrates how the wind vector and the ship's movement vector combine as a vector sum. Familiarize yourself with this plotting methodology for optimal use.
• The theory section covers topics such as the Beaufort scale of wind force and the effects of wind on the sea. This knowledge aids in estimating true wind direction and speed based on sea conditions.
• Concluding this section are valuable formulas for converting between true and apparent wind.
