Brian,

Can you upload your data to

http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/alias/idvupload

and let us know when it is there?

You should just be able to plot your vectors by selecting the correct field
under "derived" in the "Field Selector" in the IDV dashboard. You should see a
"True Wind Vectors" option there.

If not there, it is possible you may have to set a parameter alias to have it
recognize the U and V.

Either way, let us know.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
