Hi,

the formulas you need are easy to find in the internet. Do you have a specific problem with MATLAB?

Hey,The attached is the output of the code.I want to replace the headers & its data with new values that are calculated after applying formula for U&V conversion to windspeed & winddirection.

I assume that your output is a matrix. You can access to the elements and change them. For example A(i,j)=12; will set the value of the element ij to 12.
