plot wave energy and direction spectrum buoy data in IDL?

[Teddy Allen]

Hello IDL users,

I have tried to exploit the IDL POLARPLOT function to plot wave energy and direction spectra from a NOAA buoy. Unfortunately, I am not getting far in my attempts. Do any of you have experience in using IDL to create a polar plot of wave energy and direction spectrum from buoy data?

Ideally, I aim to replicate this plot from the CDIP buoys:

Thank you in advance for any assistance.
