earthkit.meteo.wind.array.xy_to_polar
=====================================

.. py:function:: earthkit.meteo.wind.array.xy_to_polar(x, y, convention='meteo')

   Convert wind/vector data from xy representation to polar representation.

   :param x: u wind/x vector component
   :type x: :class:`array-like`
   :param y: v wind/y vector component (same units as ``u``)
   :type y: :class:`array-like`
   :param convention: Specify how the direction/angle component of the target polar coordinate
                      system is interpreted. The possible values are as follows:

                      * "meteo": the direction is the meteorological wind direction (see :func:`direction` for explanation)
                      * "polar": the direction is measured anti-clockwise from the x axis (East/right) to the vector
   :type convention: :class:`str`

   :returns: * :class:`array-like` -- Magnitude (same units as ``u``)
             * :class:`array-like` -- Direction (degrees)

   In the target xy representation the x axis points East while the y axis points North.
