Validation Tool Wind Direction Towards/From Issue

[jamesdoyle21]

In the validation tool there are situations where the directional comparison is off by 180 degrees because of the towards/ from issue. In this specific case, the direction is labeled as wind direction (from) but the model data looks like it is actually wind direction (towards).

Jeff saw this same issue with all GFS Winds layers in the validation tool when he was testing, "With GFS winds I am consistently finding a 180° bias in wind direction when validated with Bouy data. From vs. towards issue?"
