Hello Josias,
You have the answer in $HOMETEL/sources/utils/bief folder/meteo_telemac.f
DO IPOIN = 1,WINDX%DIM1
WINDX%R(IPOIN) = - WINDS%R(IPOIN)*SIN( WINDD%R(IPOIN)*DTR )
WINDY%R(IPOIN) = - WINDS%R(IPOIN)*COS( WINDD%R(IPOIN)*DTR )
ENDDO
DTR = pi/180, WINDD for the wind direction and WINDS for the wind magnitude.
You can have an example of ASCII ATMOSPHERIC DATA FILE in
$HOMETEL/examples/waqtel/heat_exchange example (meteo_data.txt file).
For example you can create such a file even if it is a constant wind with short names WINDS and WINDD (please read the WAQTEL user manual, in particular the Practical aspects chapter).
You can also check if it is right by adding variables X,Y for keyword VARIABLES FOR 2D GRAPHIC PRINTOUTS in your 2D RESULT FILE (1 time step is enough).
Hope this helps,
Chi-Tuan
