If we call WIND the direction map which uses the convention degrees<br>
clockwise from North, and GRASS the output map, the rule that I applied is:<br>
<br>
IF 0 <= WIND < 270 ; GRASS = 270 - WIND<br>
IF WIND = 270 ; GRASS = 360<br>
IF 270 < WIND < 360 ; GRASS 630 - 0<br>
IF WIND = null ; GRASS = 0<br>
NULL otherwise (this latter I have added to check if there is any error.<br>

This is not correct.<br>
<br>
WIND = 0 means North. </blockquote><div><br>Actually this was tricky also for me, but:<br><p>Wind direction is measured in:</p>

<p>degrees clockwise from North (direction the wind
