It's an old program, but it probably still works:

Hi,

For arrow representation, PARTVELVEC from the IDL Astro library accepts
irregular fields as input
(http://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/ftp/pro/plot/partvelvec.pro)

For windbarbs, I don't know. A good idea would be to start from
PARTVELVEC and implement the barb thing... If you do it, I'm interested
in the final product too ;-)

Many thanks.
Yes, it works (both windbarb and partvelvec), at least for some
devices. Did get trouble with the colors using Z-device, but PS works
ok.
