A knowledge of the behaviour of the true wind aboard ship is essential in modern meteorological practices. The true wind velocity can be resolved from the measured speed and direction of the relative wind and of the ship. A method of polar resolution by alternating current representation of force vectors is shown, together with an outline of the apparatus needed for primary measurement and resolution. The accuracy of the original resolving gear under practical conditions is indicated.
