            I am trying to plot a hodograph plot as shown below. With the heklp of polar plot i could plot the points, however, i don't know how to connect a spline in between those points. Is it possible to do it somehow. I am posting my MWE.
Nomenclature:
- Ws - wind speed in m/s
 - Wd - wind direction in degrees
 - H - height for which the points are present in m
 

Ws = 15.*rand(10,1);
Wd = 360.*rand(10,1);
H = (20:20:200)';
Wd = Wd.*(pi/180);
[WdX, WsY] = pol2cart(Wd, Ws);
polar(WdX, WsY,'-b*');

        Have you tried to connect your points with splines? See http://www.mathworks.se/help/matlab/examples/splines-in-two-dimensions.html for an example.
