I have been using the "Vector Field" option for displaying wind barbs from raster data representing the U,V components of wind speed. I'm pretty happy with that in Pro or ArcMap, since it works with the data I have, so I don't have to convert it to vector data. Here is the methodology I'm using.

I was wondering if anyone has had any luck doing something like this in ArcGIS Online?

Hello David,
I'd recommend considering use of a rotation-by-value functionality with an arrow symbol.
This blog breaks down this ArcGIS Online capability rather nicely and provides sample data:

Hopefully that gets you what you're looking for!

Hi Rachel, Thanks for the link. My question was asking if the symbology options for raster data wind barbs in ArcMap/Pro also exist in AGOL. They are really handy since my data are already in raster format and they also resample the data nicely at multiple scales. I suspect that I will end up creating point layers at a few scales and displaying them using this methodology in order to publish to AGOL.
This is an old thread, but in case anyone comes across it, you can visualize vector field rasters this way in the new Map Viewer and 4.x-based apps, along with Beaufort scale arrows and the flow renderer.
