Wind Vectors have a U (Eastward) and V (Northward) Component.

Below is the code in C# to calculate the resultant wind

public struct Wind
    {
        public Wind(float speed, float direction)
        {
            Speed = speed;
            Direction = direction;
        }
        public float Speed { get; set; }
        public float Direction { get; set; }
    }

public static Wind CalculateWindSpeedAndDirection(float u, float v)
        {
            if(Math.Abs(u) < 0.001 && Math.Abs(v) < 0.001)
                return new Wind(0,0);
            const double radianToDegree = (180 / Math.PI);

            return new Wind(
                Convert.ToSingle(Math.Sqrt(Math.Pow(u, 2) + Math.Pow(v, 2))),
                Convert.ToSingle(Math.Atan2(u, v) * radianToDegree + 180));
        }
