wrf wind direction variable

[ditsiaou]

Hello,
I would like to ask about about wrf. More speciafically, the variable 'WD10' represents the wind direction. I would like to confirm that the directions of the output is 0 : North, 90: East, 180: South, 270: West, where I am referring to the origin of the wind ( 0 degrees, the wind comes from the north)

Thanks,
Dimitris

wind direction in WRF follows the meteorological convention, i.e.,

0° = wind blowing *from* the North
90° = from the East
180° = from the South
270° = from the West
