Used in calculated functions such as True Wind Speed and
Angle.
There is a special analogue indicator called Magnified Wind
which only shows the 0-50º upwind/downwind sector of
apparent wind angle in a magnified form. Analogues are
described in Chapter 5 - Options.

The apparent wind speed is simply the speed of the wind
blowing across the deck, and is derived from the same
components as the apparent wind angle. Used in calculated
functions such as True Wind Angle and Speed, also
important in its own right since many sail selection
decisions are based on the apparent wind speed.
